I have a combobox (cbo_Breed) that Holds the Breed_ID, Breed and BreedType_ID.
On the form opening I want to look at the thrird column and if its a "1" then to do something. How do I get the form to look at the third column? This is what I have written (I know its wrong, but needed a starting point)
Code:
If Me.Breed.[Column](3) = "1" Then
I have a form with two cascading comboboxes where the first selection is the alphabet and the second selection is a person's name. (the alphabet is a coding system but not assigned based on a person's name) I used one table based on example 2 of this website: fontstuff. com/access/acctut10.htm
What I want to do is add columns to the table such as organization, purpose, etc. then have them in the form as textboxes that update as soon as the second combo box is selected. Is this possible with just one table or do I need to go a different route?
I have a data base with names, email IDs, phone numbers of 5 types(example quality, security, IT,finance etc) of person from ten different project teams. I created a basic form for the end user to enter values and created fields for each of the person's name, email ID etc based on the personal type( liek quality, IT, finance etc) on each team. The background table contains records of almost 200 people now.
All of these people will be trained for one task and some will be trained for multiple tasks. I know how to make the combo box allow multiple values/selections but, i cannot list out all 200 personal names in the combobox's rowsource/value list. Is it possible to combine all different name fields and list out all personal(of one team), so that the end user can just select multiple names for that team who have been trained and so on. i need to set the rowsource of the combobox to the values of all personal from one team so the team leader can just go select who has been trained and who has not.
I'm very new to access so I'm not sure about the correct way to go about this. I have a table with a 'category' column, a form which hides the category column, and a combobox to filter the category, let's say R, C, and F.
What I want accomplish is to have the value of the comobox applied to the hidden 'category' column when a user enters a new record into the form.
Is there I way I can get an instance to the record as it's being entered and modify the data using VB? Or would I have to write a sort of pop() function and have it run afterInsert and then modify it that way? Can I even alter the table using VB like this?
I have a combobox on my form called TypeOfBusiness, with fields including Corporation, Education, Industry, Non-Profit. In order to make a second combobox called IndustryClassification appear when Industry is selected from the TypeOfBusiness combobox, I have used the following code:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.TypeOfBusiness = "Industry" Then
Me.IndustryClassification.Visible = True
Else
Me.IndustryClassification.Visible = False
[Code] .....
It works just fine. However, when a user selects both, say, Industry and Education, the IndustryClassification combobox will not appear. What code I can use to ensure the IndustryClassification box will appear regardless if another box is checked in addition to Industry? I am wondering if it has to do with the Column attribute.
Hi,
I am wondering if it's possible to bind more than one of the columns displayed on a combobox to a field please?

Hi all,
I have a combobox on a form which retreives its data using an SQL statement (I used the query builder). In one of the columns shown in this combobox I filter the data by refering to a another combox on the same form.
the syntax is: >=forms!frmCursusGegevens!DatumCursusID.column(1)
Running the form and accessing the combobox issues error 3085, stating that a function is used that is unknown.
Removing the '.column(1)' part solves the problem, but ofcourse this is not what I want. It confirms though that the problem is with this .colomn(1) reference.
I'm sure the syntax is correct, because in a modules' direct window I'm capable to retreive the data by typing:
?forms!frmCursusGegevens!DatumCursusID.column(1)
I've used the same procedure in many MS access projects using older versions of Access. In the current version 2003 it gives this problem...
Who can assist me here?
Thanks and regards!

I am currently having trouble filtering my subform by a different column than the bound column set in properties.
the comobobox shows the ID for the last email sent, with the combobox drop down showing the name and date of email when dropped down. I have tried 2 things and neither work...
1) Calling the filter on the combo-box column itself:
Code:
Dim myDate as string
myDate = [Forms]![BenSearchForm]![BenSearchSub]![LastEmail].[Column(5)]
DateFilt = " AND" & myDate & " BETWEEN " & "Nz([forms]![BenSearchForm].[Date3],#1/1/1900#) AND Nz([forms]![BenSearchForm].[Date4],#31/12/2100#)"
I have used similar code on another form, but I can't get the myDate variable to get to value of the 6th column in the dropdown (Date Of Email). an Easier way to look at this would be:
Code:
DateFilt = " AND [Forms]![BenSearchForm]![BenSearchSub]![LastEmail].[Column(5)]" & " BETWEEN " & "Nz([forms]![BenSearchForm].[Date3],#1/1/1900#) AND Nz([forms]![BenSearchForm].[Date4],#31/12/2100#)"
2) Inside the subform, I have set up a seperate field that reads the result of the dropdown box column(5) and shows it. For example the Email with ID 22 has a date of 4/8/15, so any record with last sent email being 22 has a record that says 4/8/15. I am trying to use this value to filter between, but am unable of passing the value to my filter.
The textbox is called "Email Date" and the Control source is "=[Forms]![BenSearchForm]![BenSearchSub]![LastEmail].[Column](5)"
It shows the correct data, but does not allow me to filter by this field, when the apply filter button is pressed it asks me for the parameter value of the LastEmail Field.
Code:
DateFilt = " AND" & " [EmailDate] BETWEEN " & "Nz([forms]![BenSearchForm].[Date3],#1/1/1900#) AND Nz([forms]![BenSearchForm].[Date4],#31/12/2100#)"
I use a number of set variables for my filters, so my filter ends up looking like
Code:
.Filter = IDFilt + EmailFilt+ DateFilt
where all but IDFilt begin with AND. I use this on a number of other forms so I am sure this is not the issue!
Here's my dilemma: I have a table that keeps track of job postings and how many people applied for each posting. So, for instance, I can have 20 people apply for a job posting say....on July 18. On another column I have the shift name for that posting such as DAY Shift. So, I have 20 people that have applied for the Day Shift on July 18.
What I'd like my combobox to show me in just one instance of July 18 in column 1 and one instance of Day Shift in column two. I have tried using the wizard and then going to the properties of the combobox and attempted to edit the SQL statement to use the DISTINCT value to no avail.
I am trying to use a combobox called Manufacturer to select which table the combobox called Model gets it's rowsource from using the code below.
Code:
Private Sub Manufacturer_AfterUpdate()
If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Siemens") Then
Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query"
Me.Model.Recordset = "SeimensTable"
Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SeimensTable"
Else
If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Samsung") Then
Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query"
Me.Model.Recordset = "SamsungTable"
Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SamsungTable"
End If
End If
End Sub
But when I run the form and select Manufacturer. Combobox Model remains empty. tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I'm working on a db that will track students for a summer camp. One of my fields in my student records (CamperInfo) is "School". Currently, the field is set up as a combobox in the CamperInfo Subform in the FamilyInfo form. I would like the combobox to be able to add schools if the school is not listed by a pop-up when the "add school" (or whatever) is selected.
Code:
Private Sub School_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Err_School_AfterUpdate
Dim strForm As String
If Me.School = "Schools" = True Then
strForm = "Schools"
DoCmd.OpenForm Me.School
Err_School_AfterUpdate:
MsgBox Err.Description
End If
End Sub
As you might have guessed, it doesn't work. no errors, it just doesn't do anything. I added the "Schools" data.
Private Sub CardName_AfterUpdate()
Me.Purchasing = Me.CardName.Column(2)
Me.Selling = Me.CardName.Column(3)
End Sub
I get value of Column(2) in Purchasing textbox but in Selling textbox not why?
I have a unbound combobox in my form. I wanna populate list value in my combobox. first value is current year. Every time populate 6 values. like as
2014-2015
2015-2016
2016-2017
2017-2018
2018-2019
2019-2020
I'm having some trouble opening a group of forms using a combobox. I think I'm really close, but I'm having some errors that prevent me from doing so.
I have a Combobox called "Letter Type" that contains the names of all of the other forms that exist. I want to be able to select a form from the combobox and click on the button "Compose." This should then open that form.
I had some trouble trying to get the Combobox value to work properly so I decided I would just create a hard workaround by using If/Then statements.
This is what I have in the On_Click event of my button.
Private Sub Compose_Click()
If Me.Letter_Type = "Refund Request" Then
strForm = "Refund_Request"
ElseIf Me.Letter_Type = "Request for Records" Then
strForm = "Request_for_Records"
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm strForm, , , Me.[Reference_#] = Forms![Reference_#]
End Sub
The catch is that I want the form to only open with one record and I want that record to be the same record the user was viewing on the previous form. I thought I would tie them together using the "Reference #" since it is unique.
When I click on Compose I get a "type mismatch" on the Reference #, though I'm not sure why.
The combobox in the frmResellerOrders works correctly until I include it in the Navigation form frmMainMenu. Once I include it the navigation form it no longer lets me select a value. I have read numerous articles about using the
Forms!YourMainFormName.YourSubformContainerName.Form.YourControlName
However, none of these seem to mention when and where to use it. Do I put it in the query that the form is linked with or do I need to put it in my form somewhere? I have been trying to fix this off and on for over a week now. It is one of the last parts of my database that I need to get finished by Monday!
I have attached a copy of part of my database with some dummy data.
I have a database with a Supply Receipt Form. The first field in the form is a combobox for the user to select a material/supply. I'd like for the form to open to a new record every time. When I use:
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
in the Form On Open property, I lose the ability to select the material/supply. Same thing happens when I set the Data Entry property to Yes.
I have almost completed creating a continuous form which I want users to be able to filter though the records based on to/from date, badgenum and a response string.
I then want to have a button, btnSelect, that will select the remaining records and open a report based off only the remaining records.
1.) Everything on the continuous form works except when trying to filter a combo box, cboBadge, field name "BadgeNum". BadgeNum is data type "short text". I have modified the code below from the following Allen Browne link. It keeps throwing a debug on me.Filter = strWhere at the bottom of the btnFilter sub.
2.) As far as the btnSelect and printing remaining records, I guess I'm not sure where to start.. I currently have another print button that will print individual records only which works fine.
[URL] ....
Code:
Private Sub btnFilter_Click()
Dim strWhere As String 'The criteria string.
Dim lngLen As Long 'Length of the criteria string to append to.
Const conJetDate = "#mm/dd/yyyy#" 'The format expected for dates in a JET query string.

In my quality control database QC techs will be entering in test results. Each quality control entry they put in will have a product and lot number it is related too.
My question is about making data entry easier for the QC techs. When two jobs are being run at once, the techs may have to alternate between which jobs they enter, meaning a different product and lot number. It would be frustrating for the QC techs to enter in a product code and lot number for every entry they make.
Can the lot number field be automatically populated when the tech selects a product? Basically, if the tech selects product A, can the last lot number value for product A automatically populate the field in the new entry?
Edit: Currently I have the "solution" of making two instances of the entry form with each lot number entered on the different one. This allows the QC Techs to use the CTRL+ ' to populate the last record, allowing them to quickly enter the product code, lot number, and date of the job they are working on.
I have three different forms.
1. form is a Login form where i choose between: AA, HH or FA
After choosing on my first form second form opens.
Now my question - how can i do the following:
Based on the combobox in form 1, my button i form 2 will either open form 3, 4 or 5...
I have combo box in a form. I want to enable (to highlight) some controls in the form after selecting any value from my combobox.
For example, There are three values in the combobox. And :
When I select value1, I want an unbound combobox1 to be enable (This combobox is synchronized with a bound combobox2). So when this unbound combo is enabled, its synchronized bound combo should also be enabled.
When I select value 2, it should do the similar action on a different unbound combobx3 (which is synchronized with a combobox4).
I have a form which has a combobox called Task_Ref which looks up values in a table column.
I would like to be able to set the tickbox value of tickbox called P1 to True if the combobox contains the word "test", each entry on the combobox selection may vary such as:-
Test number 1
Yesterdays Test
As long as the word "Test" appears I would like the above to happen?
I was thinking of something along the lines of:-
If InStr(Task_Ref.Value, "Test") > 0 Then
P1.Value = True
Else
P1.Value = False
End If
End Sub
But this hasn't worked
I'm creating an Audit form with a combobox from which the employee name performing the audit can be selected. The data source is the EmpNames query which selects from the Employees table, linked to another database. The EmpNames query includes a record selection criteria where Employees.TermDate is null so that terminated employees will not appear in the dropdown list.
This is fine as audit records are being added in the form for current employees, but in the future, if an employee is terminated and we go back to one of his audit records, the name will be blank because EmpNames won't include it. The Audit table doesn't store the employee's name -- just his employee ID, and the combobox has a two-column data source where the column 1 width is 0 and column 2 is the name. Is there a way to have only current employees be selectable but still be able to see terminated employees in existing audit records?
I would like to set up a picture in the form that changes based on a combobox selection, for example if you select from combo box list "design1", a picture that have a name : design1 will appear as a background to the form ..
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a split form that was not made by wizard. On the form part I have a combobox that is unbound to the form data set. The combobox has a query row source that is based on the current row selected. I want the combobox to have an up-to-date result based on which row is selected.
If I set the combobox to requery in the form_current event then I get what I want. I don't want to put up with the little delay that is generated every time a user changes rows because of the requery, though. I only want the requery to happen when they use the drop-down menu.
I have the requery in the gotfocus event of the combobox on the form. I mostly get what I want this way, however if they select an item in the drop-down list, then choose a new record in the datasheet, then try to use the combobox again, the combobox is not refreshed (because it never lost focus?).
To get around this, I've tried to setfocus to something on the form in the on_current event, but access gives me an error: 'Access can't move focus to the control btn_Refresh'.How can I get the combo to requery only when users are about to use it?
I have a multirecord continuous form that displays the results of a query. At the end of each row there is a combobox displaying a list of form names. The user selects one of these forms from the list and program fetches the detail data in that selected form corresponding to the row where the cursor is. Now the beforeupdate or aferupdate or onclick functions do not work. Her are the properties of the combobox as JPG files and the code of the not working function.
Code:
Private Sub Sbox_AfterUpdate()
Dim ForName As String
Dim ParName As String
Dim QryName As String
MsgBox "after update combo"
ParName = Me.Form.Name
Select Case Me.Sbox.Value
[Code] .....
I want to empty the combobox every time when form loads. Using the below code
Quote:
Private Sub Form_Load()
combo1.RowSource = ""
End Sub
But Combobax is not emptying.
