The rowsource is taken from a field in a contact table that contains the contact's First name and then Last name.
You could use the dropdown to pick the name or type the First name into the combobox.
The problem is that the combobox matches only the beginning part of the field as you type. So if you start typing the person's last name, the combobox would not display anything.
Is there an easy way to allow the combobox to lookup any part of the field that matches the text being typed?
I have a table - RDC/NDC - that holds details about various warehouses, including a field - [Short_Code] (TEXT) - to hold the warehouse short code or ID.
I have an import table - PickDataImport - that contains details of goods picked, including a field - ToAssignRef (TEXT) - that is made up of 3 elements; Type-Short_Code-Date (EG GREEN-MAN-210215).
I am trying to create a query that will return the warehouse name from RDC/NDC by looking up the depot short code in the ToAssignRef.
The Type element of ToAssignRef can be any length of text.
I am thinking i need to use HAVING or IN (or a combination) but everything i try fails - either blank or errors.
I have a field in a table where it is a lookup is a combo box. So this makes the data type of the field a number when in reality it is a text. When I have this field show in a list box it shows the number instead of the text.
I have a ComboBox which looks up the records in a query. The query contains the names of current employees. The table upon which the query is based lists Employees and their start date and finish date. The Query is based on finish date being Null (ie they're still working here).
In the main form which details tasks, I would like the ComboBox to just list current employees (which it does as it's based on the query) but when an employee leaves, their name is deleted from all previous records.
Is there a way to keep the ComboBox options limited to current staff, while also keeping the names of previous employees in the form?
I checked the table which the form is based on and it still has the values, so I'd like to show in the form too as that's what people will be working on.
I'm using a very simple unbound textbox on a very simple form, with the following Expression to find me data in a query and sum the last 30 days, based on a combo-box on my form...
Only thing is, it's showing me only the data from the last 30 days...regardless of the value in the combo.
=DSum("Credit","qryIncVsExp","TransDate>=#" & Date()-30 & "#" And "AccountID_FK="""&[cboaccount].[column](1)&"")
I'm sure it's something to do with the number of "'s I have, but I'm probably more than likely ever so wrong.
how to do a particular thing in Access 2010 (I don't even know if it is possible).
I have a table named PRODUCTS: ID_PRODUCT (primary key, autonumber long integer) ALLOWED_OPTIONS (multi value text lookup field: "Option 1";"Option 2";...;"Option 9")
So I can store, for each different product, none, one, or more options to let the customers choose from.
I have a table named ORDERS: ID_ORDER (primary key, autonumber long integer) FK_CUSTOMER (foreign key, linked to the primary key of a CUSTOMERS table; represents the customer that places the order.) FK_PRODUCT (foreign key, linked to PRODUCTS.ID_PRODUCT; represents the product that the customer has choosen) CHOOSEN_OPTION (lookup text field; the customer must choose ONE option among those allowed for the product he has ordered)
The problem is that I would like the CHOOSEN_OPTION field to show as a combobox, listing the values stored into PRODUCTS.ALLOWED_OPTIONS, so that when a customer buys a product, he can choose only among the options allowed by that particular product.How can I manage a multi value field to populate a combobox, in which every item stays on its line? If I use, as a query to populate the combobox:
select [PRODUCTS].[ALLOWED_OPTIONS] from PRODUCTS where [PRODUCTS].[ID_PRODUCT]=[FK_PRODUCT]
I obtain an empty combobox.If I refer to the last field as [ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT], Access asks me to type a value for "[ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT]", treating it as an unknown parameter.I think that the problem is that when the combobox expands, the record is not committed yet, so FK_PRODUCT is unknown (NULL?). But this happens even if I commit the record typing something in FK_PRODUCT and then I re-enter the record and I expand the CHOOSEN_OPTION combobox, that is still empy although FK_PRODUCT exists, now.Is there a particular syntax to refer to a field in a record not committed yet (something like "THIS." or "ME.")?
I am using one table (Table A) as a data source for a form, using the form to update and edit records. However, I wish to include a field on the form that uses an ID field in Table A to perform a lookup on Table B.
To explain further, I have a staff ID in Table A, and I want to look up and display, but not edit, the corresponding surname from Table B (just for display and convenience - we all recognise surnames rather than ID's).
I am new to access. I have the following code to lookup associated fields with a CourseNumber that is selected from a combobox. The information is then stored in a CourseEnrollment table linked to student info.
The CourseNumber and associated fields are located in a LU_CoursesOffered table. The LU_Courses Offered table has been populated by choosing associated data from combo boxes based on other LU tables.
I am getting the primary keys returned for the associated data rather than the text stored with that key.
We have a form, which has a field linked to a "Recipients" table through a lookup. The field is bound to the recipient's name, but the lookup displays additional columns for user to identify the correct recipient in the case of duplicate names.
The "Payment" table's Recipient field only displays the recipient's name. So where duplicates occur, it's impossible to know which recipient is the correct one associated to a payment.
I would like to add an additional field to the "Payment" table called "RecipientIDNo". I need a way to auto-populate this field, based on the already existing Recipient field. Is this possible?
Why I just don't modify the recipient field on our payment form to be bound to the user ID number, there are two reasons.
(1) The field is linked to too many other reports and queries at this point. I believe it could cause an enormous amount of work to modify. (2) the form likes to display whatever it is bound to. There may be a workaround for this, but I'm not aware of it and don't want the form displaying a number instead of a recipient name.
When designing a table I've created a field and set its lookup properties to display a combobox with a row source that returns a DISTINCT set of values already entered into the field.
After a row insert or row update the combobox needs to be required to ensure its list is complete.
If I create a form to display my datasheet this is easy. But I'd prefer to enter data directly into the table datasheet directly. I need to enter simple data into about 20 different tables and I'd prefer not to create 20 forms unless it's really necessary.
The lookup wizard generated entries similar to those I'd previously created manually, except the wizard generated a couple of extra settings that appeared briefly that were not part of the regular set of lookup tab properties. These additional settings referred to 'update propagation'. Once they'd disappeared I couldn't see any way to get them back..
I'm creating a database which contains information for keeping dog grooming clients. It has 3 tables, table 1 is customer, table 2 is dog, and table 3 is booking.I want to be able to choose the customer table and within that you can see the pet linked to that customer and within the dog table you can see any bookings with that dog.What I have done is linked the pet and booking table to the customer details via mobile no. being the primary key.
I want a form called appointments which contains fields *ID, date, mobile, dog name, grooming stlye and other. What i want to happen is this, once the mobile number is entered, i then when it to lookup the mobile number in the dog table and pull the pet name from that, then in the dog name box it will then provide a drop down of dogs related to that mobile number.
I understand a query needs to be made in the dog name field, so in that field i created a query to look up the mobile no. in the appointment table, and to then lookup the pet name in the pets table. This kind of works. The two problems are this, the drop down in the dog name field shows all of the dogs in the database not just the ones assigned to the mobile no. in the field before. If i choose one of the dogs not related to that mobile it changes the mobile number in the field before to the relevant one (but i don't want to be able to see the dogs which arent related to the mobile no. in the field before.The other issue is that on one of the customers there are two dogs, now on the drop down you can see both dogs, but it will only allow you to select the dog that was entered first into the database. If i select the other dog it simply chooses the data for the one first entered.
I have read about doing Requeries on the afterupdate of the field and attempted this by choosing the dog name field and in the afterupdate telling it to requery pet name (I've also tried mobile), this hasn't worked. I have a feeling I'm getting a bit confused by which fields i'm supposed to use etc.
I have a form with a combobox whose rowsource is a table that contains training course's title (CourseName) and the course's ID number.
The form is based on a training record table that is going to record which employees took what course when. This table includes both the Coursename and ID Number.
My question is: How do I have the associated course ID number automatically populate in the training record form when the user selects the coursename from the combobox?
I want to use VBA to hide columns in a subform based on what is checked in a multi value look up field.
I am creating this DB for use with sharepoint as a web database, which is why I am using the lookup field to begin with. There will be a client DB to use with some VBA code
So what I have is a lookup field with tests "Test 1, Test 2, etc" on form sample.
There is a subform called results, and I want to hide certain columns based on what tests are performed.
I tried using an If Then statement (code is being run on subform load)
If Me.Parent.fieldTest = "Test 1" Then Me.Test1Col.ColumnHidden = False Else Me.Test1Col.ColumnHidden = True
That is basically the code I was trying to use. I am getting an error 13, which I assume is because fieldTest can not = something since it is a multi value look up field.
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
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 am currently using the column history to log the history of inputs into a memo field.
But i now need to swap how my database runs and now require a combo box to have the same history function, as this is for a status updates and i require users to only input certain status's.
I no that I cant use the columnhistory command with a combo box.
When selecting a status from the combo box it automatically update the memo field (which will be hidden on the form) so the column history function works.
I'm creating a Form called Pharmacy where I can select a [Diagnosis] from a combo box in the form. This combo box source references a table called tblDiagnosis where each Diagnosis also has a multi-valued field called [Indications].
The Pharmacy form also has a multi-select listbox with all possible Indications. I would like to write a VBA code such that when a Diagnosis is selected, the Indications for that Diagnosis are automatically selected/highlighted in the listbox on the form as well.
As such, by selecting a Diagnosis, all the indications attached to that Diagnosis will automatically be selected; however, if additional indications are needed, they can still be selected afterward.
I know that there is a function Me!Listbox.Selected(i) = True, where i is the row of the entry in the listbox. However, the i in the listbox does not correspond to the ID of the Indication. I think that if there is a way to select listbox items by name, that would be much more efficient.
The reason I have a listbox, is because this listbox of Indications then references another table called tblDrugs where all drugs that are approved for the selected indications selected are filtered and displayed.
I have an access form that needs filling in daily by various people.
It's to document changes to a website and I currently have a combobox box set up for the various sections to state whether they are AMENDS, REVERTS or NO CHANGE.
I have set conditional formatting to then highlight these sections but am also trying to get it to work so that if the user chooses "NO CHANGE" then the data for that field copies over from the previous record.
I have set this up in the AfterUpdate code for the combobox, but nothing is happening, not even an error....
Code: Private Sub COMBOBOX1_AfterUpdate() If Me.COMBOBOX1 = 3 Then Me.[FIELD_TO_CHANGE] = DLookup("[FIELD_TO_CHANGE]", "tb_TABLE", "[ID]=Forms![form_FORM]![ID]-1") End If End Sub
(Where 3 is the value of NO CHANGE in the combobox, and FIELD_TO_CHANGE, tb_TABLE and form_FORM being the names of the various elements)...
I have what I think is a difficult problem to overcome...
I am designing a form to create an invoice. The user will select a workstream and a date range in form frmInvByHrs. Within this I want two sub-forms, one is frmInvByHrsTsht and the other is frmInvByHrsBill. I want the first one to display all the staff and their hours done, and the second one to be in data entry mode where you can enter the hours you want to bill. Each sub-form is based on a separate query.
Is it possible to do this? ie. to have one sub-form in data entry mode, and the other not? It seems to me that the data entry mode is controlled by the MAIN form regardless of the sub-form settings!
If this is not possible, do you know how I can acheive this?
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 have refined my query from previous threads to involved a module function. This calculates more acurately no of working days between dates and takes into account a holidays table. (All credit to Arvin Meyer on the module:) ) However because the Leave Year starts at the 1 July and finishes 30 Jun I need to compose the date for any current year Year(Now())
Enclosed scrdmp shows my query design. I can easily get it to work as you see it, but obviously as each year rolls over, the year needs to change.
Have looked at many posts but can't find what I'm looking for. This one will get me over the hurdle.
