[solved] Fill Combobox With Database Values
Hi,

I have the following tables in a Access 2000 database:

tab_employee
---------------------
ID
name
department (number)



tab_department
---------------------
ID
department


Now I have created the following recordsets:


Code:
rsEmployee = "
SELECT * FROM tab_employee, tab_department
WHERE tab_Mitarbeiter.department = tab_department.ID"

rsDepartment = "SELECT * FROM tab_department"


Now I fill a a formular of Employees with my rsEmployee and put a Datacombobox with the Department on the formular:


Code:
Set dcombo.RowSource = rsDepartment
dcombo.ListField = "Department"


I get a problem when I´d like to show the department of an employee in the Datacombobox:


Code:
If Not IsNull(rsEmployee.Fields("department").Value) Then dcombo.Text = rsEmployee.Fields("department").Value


Because I can´t readout rsEmployee.Fields("department"). But when I test my SQL statement of the rsEmployee in Access it runs...Can anybody help me?

Thank you for all considerations,

Andy

Fill Combobox From Listview
I've got the Problem that I need to "copy" a column out of a listview-field into a combobox.
It's working that far, but I'm doing it in two steps. At first I copy the values from the listview to a worksheet and in the second step I fill the combobox with the help of Rowsource.

Is there any posibility do this easier in maybe one single step?

EDIT: I've found the solution... was just to blind to see it directly. I'm just getting started with VBA programming

Can I Automatically Fill In A Combobox?!?!
I have a combobox and the list comes from an access file. I want to have it so when the user tabs onto the combobox and starts typing the closest match would come up with a blue backround and if the user tabs over again it will fill the combobox.

Fill Array From Combobox
I am currently writing a program which I cant seem to quite finish.. I fill a combobox with multiple lines, consisting of 5 elements delimited by commas. I then am trying to write them separately to a text file which I am using in another program. I think the best way to do that is to store the combobox contents to an array then to a text file.

currently looks like this in the combo box

Bagatelle, Beethoven, Piano Sonata, THIRD, 7
Seven Garden, Motzart, String Symphony, FIFTH, 2



I need it to look like this in the text file

Bagatelle
Beethoven
Piano Sonata
THIRD
7
Seven Garden
Motzart
String Symphony
fifth
2

Use ComboBox To Fill In Other Fields?
I either don't understand ComboBoxes or I just don't know what they can't do.

I have a ComboBox (cboOdds) with a prefilled list of 8 options that will never change (I am using Style "2 - Dropdown List"). I want to be able to select one of the items in the list and have this immediately fill a text box (txtOdds) with text connected to that item in the list. If I then select a different choice from the ComboBox, the information in the text box will be changed to the new information connected to the second item and so on.

In short, turning the ComboBox into the trigger for a text box auto-fill.

Using SQL To Fill A ComboBox [SOLVED]
Hi all!

I'm using this code below to add the content of the first column (CHP) of my database to a ComboBox. I'm not a sql-Expert, so I would like to ask how I add the first and the second column (NCHP) to this ComboBox (in one row: Combo1.Additem Column1 & Coulmn2).



VB Code:
Dim db As Database        Dim rs As Recordset        Set db = OpenDatabase(TOURENWF.F4UG5T02.Text)        Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT CHP, Count(CHP) As InitCount FROM Tab1 GROUP BY CHP")        Do Until rs.EOF            Combo1.AddItem rs!CHP             rs.MoveNext        Loop        rs.Close        db.Close


Hope u understand my problem!

Creating Sub To Fill Combobox. Help
Hi all,

I have a sub which I want to call to fill a combobox. But it doesn't work. Here's the code:
---------------------------
Sub AddListItems(cmbname As ComboBox)

Dim sTemp As String
cmbname.Clear

Open (App.Path & "list.txt") For Input As #1
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, sTemp
cmbname.AddItem sTemp
Wend
Close #1

End Sub
----------------------------

For example when the combobox I want to fill is named cmbStuff, I would call it AddListItems (cmbStuff)

It should work right? But it doesn't. It gives me type mismatch.

If I replace the line
"Sub AddListItems(cmbname As ComboBox)"
with
"Sub AddListItems"
and change all the "cmbname" with "cmbStuff" in the above code, and call the simply by AddListItems, it works FINE.

Where is my mistake? Thanks in advance for any help.

Combobox List Fill Range
I have a spreadsheet with three comboboxes. The first combobox lists whether or not the wood beam is sawn or glue laminated (for example). The second combobox lists the species of the wood (oak, cedar, etc.). The third combobox lists the available grade (stud, utility, etc.). All 3 comboboxes are based on a fill range within the spreadsheet and all three are written with VBA code. My hangup is that there is a situation when the wood beam size is based on a different fill range.
Is there a way to get excel to recognize something along the lines of:

If combobox2.text<>"Southern Pine" or "Mixed Southern Pine" then
combobox6.listfillrange="AI2:AI9"

I know this can be done with data validation but I would prefer to use VBA.

Fill A Combobox Via VBA With Directory Names
I was searching in the archive of this forum, but i never saw a good answer to my question.
What i like to have is, that when my sheet is loaded, automatically fills a ComboBox (/drop down list) with all directory names, in a specific directory (e.g. look in c: est and if there are directorys in it, show them in the combobox).

I am aware of the excell method, to place the founded values in a cell, and with a linked cell and linked range, i can show the values in the list. But i don't want to do that, i want that vba fills that combobox.
a>is that possible
b>is it possible to do that on load.
The object combobox is never been accepted as an object, except in the sheet code itself.
anyone?

Fill Combobox With Results Of Findnext
Hello,

I have a number of sheets, all containing football team names.
I run a find macro based on a a text string; this only finds exact matches. If no exact matches occur, I need a combobox populated with all the results of another find search; this time an (xlpart) search. All the nearest matches need to be shown, with an option to pick the correct one. e.g Let's say I search for "Man"; I would like a box populated with "Manchester United", "Manchester City", "Mansfeild", etc.

If anyone has any code, or previous experience of such a problem I would be most grateful.

Cheers

Auto Expand/Fill In ComboBox
I am looking for a way to "auto fill" a combo box as the user types.
For example, if the combobox contains "ab, abra, abraca", "ab" should appear as soon as "a" is typed, then "abra" as soon as the "br" is added, etc.

MSAccess has this feature in the ComboBox Properties called "Auto Expand." I found in a reference book that Style = 1-Simple Combo is supposed to do that (called Extended Matching) in VB6. However, it only works if the user presses the down key after typing the first few letters.

Finally, I found some code at http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/show...ended+matching which is supposed to do that.

Is there any easy way/setup to achieve this?

Thanks!

Fill TextBox Linked To ComboBox (Access)
It's been awhile since I've used Access, so bear with me.
I have a combobox that is linked to Column A in Table A. When the user selects something from the combobox, I want the associated information in Column B in Table A to fill a TextBox. Also, if I make changes to the information in the TextBox, I want that to replace what was there. Is this possible (I'm assuming it is)? Is it done through a Macro or VBA (or other???)?

With ComboBox Changing Fill Color Ellipse
Hello,

I am a starting VB programmer and i've got a little problem.

My goal at this moment is maybe very simple, but I just don't have the knowledge (yet) to know to solve this.

I want to change the color of my ellipse by selecting a value from a ComboBox2

ComboBox2 contains the names of the colors like Firebrick, Red, bla bla.

The problem is indicated at the bottom of my script. I've tried some things, which should be logical for me, but the don't work.


Code:
Private cCircleColor = Color.Brown 'my ellipse color var

Sub flips(Optional ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs = Nothing)
Static varE As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs
If Not e Is Nothing Then
varE = e
End If

varE.Graphics.FillEllipse(New SolidBrush(cCircleColor), iX, iY, 25, 25)
End Sub 'flips

Private Sub ComboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox2.SelectedIndexChanged
cCircleColor = Color.(ComboBox2.SelectedItem)
' ^^ This is the part
Call flips()
End Sub
Hope someone can help me 'ere

Fill In Textbox Based On A Combobox Selection
I am connecting to an Access DB using ADODB from a VB6 application. I can connect to the DB, and create recordsets. What I need a bit of help with is:

I want a text box to automatically be filled in with a field (field=Location) after the user selects an item from a dropdown box (field=iPAQ). The two fields are in the same table (table=iPAQs) so the two fields would be from the same record. I just want the text box to be automatically filled in.

Here is how I make the recordset for the iPAQs table:
Code:
    'Loads iPAQs table into rsiPAQs
Set rsiPAQs = New ADODB.Recordset
With rsiPAQs
    .ActiveConnection = cnMHS
    .CursorLocation = adUseClient
    .CursorType = adOpenStatic
    .LockType = adLockPessimistic
    .Source = "SELECT * FROM iPAQs"
    .Open
End With


Then I load the records from the iPAQ field into a combo box (CboiPAQ) using:
Code:
    'Fill the iPAQ Combobox
Do Until rsiPAQs.EOF
    CboiPAQ.AddItem rsiPAQs!iPAQ
    rsiPAQs.MoveNext
Loop


I hope I explained that all OK.
Thanks for any help or pointers anyone can provide!

Fill DataGrid W/select Items From Database.
Can someone please give me a little code sample of how to add an item to a DataGrid using code with ADO Reference. I'm trying to add data to the grid from another form by using the "click event" and pulling the data from a database, based on the item that was clicked.
For example: Click on a red ball (on a separate form) and it gets the information from the database and adds it to the DataGrid with all of the information in the record from the database. (description, price, & etc.) I also need to have a formula to total one or two columns at the bottom. Like total quantity, and total (price).
It's kinda like a POS thing I guess, but not too complicated.
