Forms :: Search Unbound Column In Form Combo Box
Jun 16, 2014I have added a combobox to one of the forms in my customer database using the "find a record in my form based on a value in my combobox" section of the combobox wizard.I have a number of columns in the combobox (the primary key is the bound value, and I have unbound columns for first name, surname etc).
I sorted the records in the combobox by column 3 (surname) so I can scroll through the list and choose surname instead of having to memorise customer numbers. Now I have more than 1500 records (with more on the way), scrolling through takes ages, and I was wondering if there is a way to adapt the combobox so I can (for example) type the first letter of a surname into the box and be taken to surnames beginning with that letter, whilst retaining the primary key as my bound column?
My initial thought was to base the combobox values on a query, and make the query prompt for a starting letter (or string of letters) each time it runs, so it only displays the query results in the list, but I was wondering if there is a neater way to do it?
Forms :: Set Up Navigation Form - Search Unbound Subform Records
May 16, 2014have set up a navigation form which contains 5 unbound subforms that are made visible or not visible thru the on click event of command buttons on the main form, the subforms have a command button with an embedded macro that searches for a record based on what has been keyed to an unbound text box on the subform, this works fine when the sub forms are opened independently of the navigation form but when the search is done from within the main form, the error message is, "....cannot find the referenced from frmAQIFAList" subform, I tried referencing the main form name infront of the subform name but this also doesn't work, perhaps this would be better with code ? or is it because the subforms are unbound ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUnbound Combo Boxes And A Form With Allow Edit Set To 'NO'
Oct 29, 2005Hi folks,
I have a form with a record source property set to a query which pulls the data by joining two tables. The form also has four navigation buttons (first, previous, next, last) and a ADD record, SAVE record, EDIT record, DELETE record buttons.
I also have a unbound combo box (control source iset to 'empty') in the form's header section and its record source property set to an SQL (SELECT DISTINCTROW tblProjts1.chrProjectName, tblProjts1.intProjectID FROM tblProjts1 ORDER BY tblProjts1.chrProjectName;). It's columns count is 2, bound column is set to 2 and column width is set to 3.1146";0".
In the edit button, I have the code "Me.AllowEdits = True" so that the user can edit the data.
Also, I have the following code on form's "on current" and "after update" events so that it will flip back to allow edit to 'NO'
Me.AllowEdits = False
Also, I have the following code on the combo box's 'after update' event.
Dim strSearch As String
strSearch = "[intProjectID] = " & Me![cboProjectID]
'Find the record that matches the control
Me.Requery
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst strSearch
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark.
My Problem:
When I run the form and select a record from a combo box it populates the fields (all memo data type) in the form with correct linked record, ONLY when my allow edit property is set to 'YES'.
With allow edit set to 'NO', then when a tried to make a selection from a combo box it doesn't allow me to select any record. The combo box seems to be locked up and I can't select any record.
Does anyone come across such a problem with cbo box and 'allow edits' property in the forms.
Your help is much appreciated.

Forms :: Blank Form And Unbound Combo Box
Oct 26, 2013I have a form that I would like to have blank fields when it is opened. I put the following in the "On Open" Event field of the form properties:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub
However, it does not work. I have an unbound combo box on the form for users to select from, in which all the records on the form will populate with whatever is selected in the unbound combo box. I thought this was the problem at first, but even if I remove that from the form, the form still opens to the first record. If I set the "Data Entry" field to "Yes" on the Data tab, that works, but then none of the fields populate when using the combo box.

May 15, 2006I have a db which has a field called site_id it a table called sites. I have a form called sites which uses this table as a record source.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSearch For Records In A Form Via Combo Box
May 30, 2006Dear all,
I'm trying to incorporate a combo box in my form to navigate through records. The plan is to select a piece of equipment listed in the combobox, and that record will then be displayed as an "after update" action.
However, I have tried through coding I have tried before and utilising the wizard to create this combo-box, but each time I get a "Complie Error - Can't find project or library".
The section of code is shown below:
Private Sub Combo227_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[EquipmentID] = " & Str(Nz(Me![Combo227], 0))
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub
Any help gratefully received!
Thanks,

Combo Box Search In Form - Similair Value Dilemma
Dec 6, 2006I have a combo box that searches for surnames in my database. if there are two surnames the same, it brings up the first one. if this is not what i want then how can I ask it to search again instead of just pulling down the list and searching manually?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAdding All Selection To A Combo Box On Search Form
Jun 5, 2014I have a search form with unbound combo boxes that uses the combo box values as criteria for a query. The Row Source of cboCategory is based on the query:
SELECT Categories.ID, Categories.Category FROM Categories ORDER BY Categories.Category;
When I start the form and I don't select a value for the cboCategory combo box, the query just returns all the values. This is great. The problem is that if I make a selection in the combo box, I have no way of reverting it back to that initial value that would make the query return all categories - if I erase the combo box the query returns nothing. So I have to close the form and reopen it.
I tried adding an "All" value to the combobox like so:
SELECT Categories.ID, Categories.Category FROM Categories UNION Select Null as AllChoice , "(All)" as Bogus From Categories
ORDER BY Categories.Category;
but it does not seem to work. It just returns nothing instead of all the categories. How can I add a value of "All" to the combo box that will return all of the categories?

Forms :: Combo Box - Search Function Not Working Within Form
Jul 23, 2015I recently created a database to be used to store incoming invoices. We have 4 suppliers which supply the same material and wanted each supplier to have its own database.
I began by making a database which included all the key tables, forms, queries and functions I would need to then save 4 copies, one for each supplier. This just meant I would not have to repeat the process for each individual supplier.
The problem is all my data is external and upon importing it into the database it has made the search function (combo box) not return results.
I believe this is because:
1) The form was created before the records existed
2) The records were imported from an external source and not created using the form.
However, the way I have designed the form is so I can see all relevant information linked with a specific invoice. This aids in gathering information quickly about an invoice but also so I can input credit note and invoice query information linked to a specific invoice on the same page.
Is there anyway to remedy this?
Or use a similar search function that returns records in my form "Main View"
The last thing I want to do is have to create the form again, although I don't think this will work either as reason 2) states.
Forms :: Only Show Data On Form From Combo Box Search?
Jan 28, 2015I have created a combo box which lists companys, when i click on a certain company it brings all records for that company but underneath the last record it shows all the other records on the form.
How do i get it to only show the records for that company only.
Search Date Range By Month In Combo Box Within A Form?
May 25, 2012I'm trying to create a combo list box in a form that has all 12 months (January, February......etc,) listed in rows, and depending on the selection will bring up only that particular month within a range of dates from a table. I don't want it to look at the day or the year, but only the month.
Example: I select January from the drop down list in my combo box and my form will display all records with dates that are in January regardless of month or year.
Create Drop Down That Has 2 Columns And Search On Unbound
Apr 17, 2013I'm working in Access 2010. I have a simple form that is bound to table "Jobs" in which the key field is job number.
I want to create a search drop down. I need it to display both the job number and the customer name; and I would like the user to be able to start typing the customer name in the dropdown and for the drop down to pull it up as I'm typing it.
I create a simple query for the row source of my drop down:
SELECT Jobs.Job_Number, Customers.Customer_Name
FROM Jobs LEFT JOIN Customers ON Jobs.Job_Number = Customers.Job_Number;
When I run the query, I get both columns. I set the bound column to 1.
Column count = 2.
Column widths =1";1"
Go to run it and it displays only the job number in the drop down after I select. In addition, it does not filter at all.
General :: Dynamically Search Multiple Fields From Combo Box On Form
Mar 21, 2013[URL] ....I am trying to dynamically search multiple fields from a combo box on a form that includes a subform. I am using code from the above referenced link within this forum.
It works without the "setFocus" for the Listbox except it jumps to a record after the very first character is entered instead of narrowing down as characters are typed. If I leave in the "setFocus" I get run-time error 2110.
Forms :: Using Combo Boxes For Search Form In Read Only Mode

View 2 Replies View RelatedForms :: Checkbox / List Box And Unbound Keyword Search
Aug 7, 2013I'm relatively new to Access 2010. I have an excel spreadsheet that I've converted into an access table for the purposes of creating a user friendly form for the end user to search for relevant criteria to retrieve a list of records that fit the requests. There are two main search functions: unbound keyword search (90+ keywords), and either a series of checkboxes or one list box that lists specific countries/regions matched in a column (columns, as I will get to shortly). The region selection is bound by a selection of 15 countries.
The key is each record can correspond to more than one country. This, one record can have "Belgium, Germany, brazil" and the next record can just have "brazil". Thus if someone selects brazil, the query must retrieve the Belgium Germany brazil record in addition to the record that covers just brazil. I've tried to do this with a concatenated column that list all countries and a text box search, I've tried to do this with individual checkbox columns for each country with checkboxes in the search form...and I can't get it to work. I don't fully understand the criteria to set for checkboxes or list boxes. What would be the best way to build this form, an how?
General :: Search Unbound Textbox And Populate Subform
Jun 14, 2012I have a form with a textbox which when users enter a unique number(barcode) I want to run a query which pics up the barcode number, checks against the product id and fills the subform with the name of the product and price.
The basic details of the product table is like:
product id (Autonumber)
prdoduct name (text)
price
barcodeId (number)
The subform where i want the result to go is the order details fields product name and price.
I am trying to figure out how to do this but my mind keeps going blank, its been a long while since i used ms access.
Modules & VBA :: Unbound Text Boxes And A Search Button Adjacent
Jul 23, 2013I have two unbound text boxes and a search button adjacent each that allows me to search for a user via two methods:
1) Payroll ID
2) Surname
They have the following code:
txtPayrollIDSearch
Code:
Private Sub txtPayrollIDSearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim sWHERE As String
sWHERE = "[PayrollID] = " & Me.txtPayrollIDSearch
sWHERE = "[PayrollID] = '" & Me.txtPayrollIDSearch & "'"
[code]...
Then minor differences between the above and the Surname search.I have two questions:
1) How do I make the search more friendly by allowing it to find partial matches, i.e., a user has a surname of 'Smith' but I want to search for 'Smi'?
2) How can I display further error messages if there aren't any matches?
Forms :: Filtered Search Form Using Asterisk As Wildcard Default Value In Combo Boxes
Aug 23, 2013I'm trying to make a filtered search form using "*" as a wildcard default value in combo boxes, this works for all the text fields except for the account number field (Numeric primary key). After quite a bit of reading up and searching, I tried using the following as the row source;
SELECT customers.ACCOUNT_NO, customers.CUSTOMER FROM customers; UNION SELECT "*", "All" From Customers;
But am still getting "#Error" in the combo box.
Unbound Combo Box - Which Row
Aug 29, 2006Hello all
I'm new to Access so sorry if this is stupid - I have looked everywhere!
I have an unbound combo box on a form that is populated in the onload event of the form by setting the rowsource to a query based on the companyID on the form. The query gets me a list of contacts at that company.
So, after the form is loaded the combo box (if dropped down) might show:
1 Fred Smith
7 Jim Jones
9 Arthur Askey
The first column contains the ContactID.
My question is .... when the form loads I know the ContactID of the person I am looking at. If that person is 'Jim Jones' and I have a field on the form which contains Jim Jones ContactID of 7 - how can I get the combo box to be showing the 'Jim Jones' row?
(I don't what to bind the combo box to anything as I want to use it just to filter which contact I am looking at - not change the ContactID)
I guess I want to loop through the combo box saying 'If the contactID of this row = the ContactID on the form - select this row' - but I can't find the syntax anywhere.
Thanks for any help.

Update Unbound Combo Box
Apr 21, 2006I said I was a dummy, but here goes.
I am designing a customer information form, the form has an unbound combo box showing customer names and when clicked opens the customer record.
My problem is when I enter a new record, I have a button that saves current and opens new, but when I am in the new record, the customer I just added previously is not showing up on the unbound control, only when I close the form completely and re-open it.
Is there a code to update the unbound combo box when you click to go to new record.

Forms :: Force Value In Unbound Combo Box?
Mar 26, 2013Ive got a database with a combo box, called "combo1" (with 2 columns). It is unbound but uses a query as its row source. When i select a value in combo1 is places the data from combo1.column(1) into a textbox (text1). I then click the next record button (button1) and it then keeps the same value in combo1 because it is unbound. So i need it that when i go to the next record it displays the value in combo1 that relates to text1.
