Form With Text Box And Combo Box By Type

Jun 15, 2006

hello can anyone please help me with this form?

I have a form in which has one drop down combo box and one data entry text
box.

The combo drop down box comes from a query of all active contracts from my
contracts table.
the second box has a unit ID number which the user enters.

All information entered in this data entry form goes to a Unit table.

My contract table has three columns: Name of contract and Type (only three
types): A, B, C. (contract table) and then a column that says active or
inactive.
i.e

Name Type Status
113 A active
114 B inactive
115 A active
116 A inactive
120 C active
121 C inactive

This is where I am stuck…

When a user puts an unit id number and then selects from the listbox one of
the active contracts for the first time is ok. For example: the user entered
unit number 123 and selected contract: 113 which belongs to type A.
What I need is that next time the user put the same unit number in the text
box then the contracts he could choose for that selected unit number could
only any of type B or type C. he/she can no longer choose other type A.

so basically for every unit id number i could have only one contract type A, only one contract B and only one contract C. :confused:

Can someone give me some light in how to start this?

How To Have Text And Not Numbers In Text Data Type

Jan 13, 2006

I was wondering if there is a way of only allowing text in a text field - we need to do this for validation purposes when inporting a text file into a database. I have tried input mask but this only checks when entering new data - I have tried to use validation rule like"???????" however this means that there has to be 7 letters in each field and this is not the case. - the field is for town and a couple of the records in this field have numbers at the end which are incorrect that we want the database to reject :eek:

Using A Combo Box To Insert Text Into A Form Field

Oct 9, 2005

This is really hard to explain, but basically I'm trying to use a combo box that has a control source different than it's record source to update another field on the record source. For example, the combo box pulls it's options from a table called "NameList" and when you select an option from the combo box it updates a table called "Results". On this form there are form fields that are bound to the "Results" table. What I want to happen is, when I make a certain selection from the combo box, I want one of the fields bound to "Results" to automatically display text from a different table. Is this even possible? If this is a horrible explanation, please let me know. I need serious help on this one, I've been working on this for a day and a half now. If anyone has any ideas on how to do it a different way, please make suggestions. Thanks in advance!

- Josh :confused:


Also, another thing I forgot to mention, this may help anyone who tries to help me. This "Results" form is basically used as a log utilizing a report to display a sequence of events. I've included a screenshot for visual affect. I have censored a few things for privacy reasons.

Forms :: Can't Type In Combo Box

Jul 3, 2013

I have a combo box, which auto fills a field box "on change" for some reason though, even after following the instructions I see on other web-sights I cannot type into the box.

I have:
limit to list: no
auto expand: no

and no other code on it apart from the auto-fill code what I want to be able to do, is type into the box, and if it is not a proper value, I can click the drop down box and select values that start with the value I typed.

Text Boxes Showing Information From A Row In A Form Corresponding From A Combo Box

Jan 4, 2007

Hi,

I have a form that has several text boxes that correspond to a cell in a row. One of the columns contains just numbers 1-300. Now what I need is a combo box that contains the numbers 1-300 and when one of those numbers is selected I need it to import all the information from the same row into the correct text boxes.

For example when the number 3 is selected it will take the row with the number 3 in it, take all of the cells and import them into the right text box.

Thanks a bunch!

How Combo Box Can Drill Down Results As I Type A Name

Jun 16, 2006

How can i do the following? In a combo box, how can i type in say PEPPER and see every formulaName that contains Pepper in their description. I would get back Red Pepper, Orange Pepper, Black Pepper, Pepper, to choose from. Notice that Pepper can be anywhere inside the name.

I would like the choices change as i type. In other words, if i type BL, i would start to see choices like Black Pepper, Blue Pepper, Roger Blueboy, Green Bloak or any formulaname containing BL.

I presently have the following combo box. if i start typing BL and hit the down arrow, i will see formulas starting with BL. unfortunately, furtherdown, i also see all the other thousands of formulas in the base; meaning I see things that start with C, D, E etc.

I was hoping that i would see every formula containing the letters that i type, As I Type. so if i went further and typed BLAC, the formulas that almost made the cut, disappear from view, leaving me with things having BLAC in name, anywhere in the formulaName. Is this possible? I kind of want to DRILL down. when i finish typing black, i would have all formulaNames that have the word Black somewhere.

here is the combo box after update code:
----------------------------------------------
Private Sub CboFormulaNameFilter_AfterUpdate()
If Me![CboFormulaNameFilter] = "<All>" Then
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
Else
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "[FormulaID] = Forms![frmFormulaMain]![cboFormulaNameFilter]"
End If
End Sub
------------------------------------------------

============================
Here is the row source sql code:

SELECT DISTINCT tblFormulaMain.FormulaName, tblFormulaMain.FormulaID, tblFormulaMain.Description, tblFormulaMain.FormulaStatus
FROM tblFormulaMain
GROUP BY tblFormulaMain.FormulaName, tblFormulaMain.FormulaID, tblFormulaMain.Description, tblFormulaMain.FormulaStatus
ORDER BY tblFormulaMain.FormulaName;
===============================

FormulaID is a text field.

Type Text Field Size

Oct 2, 2006

Hi,

I have searched on this and it says: it doesn't matter as long as it's of type text. It matter if it's long integer..etc. I am not quite sure.

I wonder if default size '50 of fields' of type text occupies that size in memory even though the data in the field is not 50 chars.

Regards,
B

Run Text Data Type Against Date

Jul 28, 2005

I need to run a query for a particular time frame. The only problem is that the CurrentDate field in the table has its data type set to Text.

I thought I could do something like this but it didn't work:
WHERE cdate(myTable.CurrentDate) >= #01/01/2004#

Isn't there a way to "convert" this field so that it behaves as a date field when the query runs?

Thanks,

Can't Type In Unbound Text Field

May 27, 2005

happy friday to all! I may just be missing something simple here but not sure what. I have a form with an option group of radio buttons, an unbound label, and an unbound text field.
If radio button A is selected, the the label and the text field become visible. no problem with this.

when they become visible, I want to be able to enter a string into the unbound text box, and use that data to populate a query from. I know how to do this also.

No the problem: when the textbox becomes visible I can't type into it?

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Kevin

List Box Text Type Selection

Jan 12, 2006

I have an MS Access DB, that uses a list box to give users a view of the possible selections to choose among.

It works great, but the database has grown to the point there are nearly 3,000 items in the list box.

I found that if you type in the first letter, it will take you to the first alphabetically in the list with that letter.

So if I type in "A" it takes me to "Aardvark". But even this could use improvement, as typing in the first letter with 3,000+ selections means the users may scroll a few hundred to find what they are looking for.

Is there any code, or property setting that can set it up, so the users can type in the entry and it will narrow it down?

So if they type in "AS" it goes to "Assumption" rather than "Aardvark" then jumps to "Sail" (as it does right now).

Thank you for your help,

T.J. Bernard

Forms :: Populating Text Box Based On Combo Box - Separate Form

Aug 14, 2015

The main issue I'm having is trying to populate a text box based on a combo box selection. I've found threads on that - the twist that is throwing me for a loop is that I'm dealing with two different forms.

I have a main/welcome form with two combo boxes on it. Based on the user's selections in these two combo boxes, two different forms are opened for data entry. For instance, box 1 has A, B, C and box 2 has x, y, z. If a user chooses B and z, then form B and form z are opened. What I want is for a text box to be populated on one of the opened forms, not the same (main/welcome) form. In other words, when B and z are chosen, I would like there to be a textbox autofilled with "z" on form z.

General :: Combo Box To Populate Rich Text Textbox In Form

Aug 30, 2013

I am new to access and have been staring at the same Run-time error for 3 days (pathetic I know). I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does not like my Dlookup. Esentially, I want and After Update event in my combo box to populate a Rich text textbox in my form. After reading DLookup is the easiest way to make this happen. Here is my code:

Me.emailbody.Value = DLookup("[Escalation_1]", "Status_Emails", "Status_Emails.Status =" & (cboStatus.Value))

My error reads: "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Status_Emails.Status = LOCATION NEED MORE INFO'.

LOCATION NEED MORE INFO is the value in my criteria cbostatus.value.

Text Box Filling In After Combo Box Selected - Need To Sort On Split Form

Apr 23, 2014

I have a table [Employees] that has the field [FirstName] and [LastName]. On my form [Jobs], I have a combobox [ComboWho]. The combo box has all of the possible first names. When a first name is picked, it makes the last name fill in a textbox.

In the real version, it is a [LastName] is a lot of information, so it is kept in a memo field. I tried to use cascading combo boxes, but it cuts off my text.

I keep getting it to almost work... I've tried about 5 different methods... DLookUp, subform, etc.

Right now, I'm using this code:

Private Sub ComboWho_Change()
Dim location As String
Me.ComboWho.SetFocus
location = DLookup("LastName", "Employee", "FirstName = '" & Me.ComboWho.SelText & "'")
Me.MyTextBox.SetFocus
Me.MyTextBox.Text = location
End Sub

It has properly filled in the textbox. I thought it was working perfectly, but ran into one snag... We have been using a split form... and it won't let me filter that column (Column ComboWho). I think because it is saving everything as numbers instead of text.

ComboWhoDatabase.accdbI've attached a copy of the simplified database.

Access Text Data Type Options

Nov 14, 2004

Hi All,

I was doing a project for school where I had to make a text field that would only accept the options Client Type(RET - Retail, SER - Service, DIN - Dining)

I thought I did it right by having a line with the field name as "Client Type" and the input as "text" with a field size of "3". and the description I put was "Client Type(RET - Retail, SER - Service, DIN - Dining)". But it doesnt work. I saved and everything. It will let me enter anything I want as long as it doesnt exceed 3 chars. I want it to ONLY accept RET, SER, or DIN and I want it to format it so its in CAPS.

Thanks,
-- Steven

BETWEEN For Text Data Type Date Range

Jan 10, 2005

I am creating an ASP page that uses a database with a field labeled 'Date' of data type Text.

I would like the records within a date range.

I tried using the following query:

"SELECT * FROM Project WHERE Date BETWEEN ' " + strBeginDate + " ' AND ' " + strEndDate + " ' "

I was partially successful.

The database contains data from 1/1/03 to 12/31/04.

When the following range is entered: 04/10/03 - 04/21/03, the results returned are 04/10/03 - 04/21/03 AND 04/10/04 - 04/20/04.

Any suggestions on how to approach this problem?

Thanks

Look-up Wizard Returns Number Type Instead Of Text

Nov 4, 2007

I had posted this a couple weeks back but it didn't help much in the end, thanks to anybody who posted there anyway though.

I've used the Lookup wizard to make a lookup menu in one of my tables. The field I tell it to refer to in another table is a Text type. However, after the lookup wizard completes the type of the field which is uses the menu is changed to Number.

At this point it can be kind of whacked out and inconsistent, but what usually happens is if I select a value from the lookup field it refers to the auto number that I used as a primary key for the looked up value.

I created a new table, and tried to do a lookup field for for the same fields and got the same problem - I think it's an issue with the field I'm looking up.

I'm 100% sure I didn't do anything stupid like select the ID auto number for the lookup... So what's going on?
