Forms :: Form That Adds Data To A Table Depending On Which Option Was Clicked In Combo Box?
Sep 30, 2013
i have a standard database with tblProducts, order, employees, customers, suppliers etc. i also have a table called tblperson with personID which acts as a one, with the many in three different tables (customers, suppliers and employee) the person table holds data such as first name last name address city postcode and phone. now, ive created a form called frmPerson that acts as a adding data to my database. ive got a load of buttons a working add, delete and a save button, i also have the option to switch through records next, last, end and first. now basically in this form i want to be able to add data i.e. fill out the text boxes and then have a combo box or something similiar that when i add the data i can basically click an option the says 'employee' 'supplier' or 'customer' and then the data gets added to my person table however the difference is that it will also be associated to the record in the wanted table.
I'm looking to have either a combo box,, or 2 options buttons (whichever is easiest) that set a date field based on what is selected in the combo box/ option buttons.
The variables are 'Payment in 30 days" " Payment upfront"
if "payment in 30 days" is selected the date field on the form will enter the date as + 30 days from todays date if "payment upfront" is selected the field on the form will enter todays date.
This date field must be blank unless an option is selected, as this information is only entered in a later stage of the form.
I've tried a few different ways to enter this but i can't quite get it to work as i want.
I am creating a database to manage multiple mobile devices. The table structure is complete and I'm trying to build a set of forms.
Simplifying things, I have tblUser, tblSim and tblDevice. I also have a tblJoin where you can select a UserID, SimID and DeviceID to create an item of inventory.
I have created a parent form (frmCreateInventory) base on tblJoin, so it has JoinID and combo boxes for UserID, SimID and DeviceID in the lefthand side.
I have also set up 3 sub forms sfrmUser, sfrmDevice and sfrmSim, based on their respective tables, which I want to display on the right hand side of frmCreateInventory.
I'd like to be able to create a subform control in frmCreateInventory, but change the subform it displays based on what combo box is clicked, e.g. if I click the UserID control, the subform displays sfrmUser, and the relevant data based on the UserID that is linked to the JoinID. if I click the DeviceID control, the sfrmDevice is displayed and the relevant info etc. etc.
Is this possible? if so, how would I go about doing this?
Hi I'm a real newbie at this but basically I have a form displaying three lots of contacts Expediting, Quotation & Miscellaneous contacts.After choosing the company name from a list box it displays the Expediting, Quotation & Miscellaneous contacts info - but doing it this way there isnt much space on the screen to show all the Contact names,Telephone fax & email addresses clearly& at a decent size.Apart from the company list box I want to have a list box/combo box with:
Expediting Quotation Miscellaneous
and then after choosing Expediting, Quotation or Miscellaneous from the list/combobox i want it to take the relevant data from the Expediting, Quotation, or Miscellaneous contacts sections and only display the information relating to those sections only, therefore allowing me to have bigger text and not so cramped display so everyone can read it ok and get more info on the screen for each contact group.
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated!!!! Thankyou in advance for any help. Be gentle with me I am a newbie,lol.
I want to add a combo box to a form, where depending on the values entered in the box another combo box would show more values. In other words, if the first combobox had choices of 1, 2, 3 and 4, if 1 was selected the next combo box would have values a, b, c and d. If 2 was selected, it would have values of a, d, e, f and g.
Any way, I have created a table "accountstbl" to which i have AccountsID, Accountnumber, Accountname, Accountaddress, Accountcontact fields.
My question is i created a form with a combo box linking it to the accountstbl and Accountname field. When i click on the combo box it lists all my Accountnames from the accountstbl which i want but i want to click on an account name and once selected it will show a report of the selected name.
Reading through lengthy pages there is reference to event procedures but this is code which i do not know.
Simples is me select name from combo box and voila you have a report of your selected account name.
I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...
I have an Option Group I created (simple Yes-No) in a form that links to a Yes-No field in a table. I have the default set for this field to "Yes" in the form. The option button works when the form is first opened. If I cange the option to "No", that works. Here's the tricky part that is giving me eye twitches...
If I change the option back to "Yes", the radial button doesn't reflect the change...but it does change the table data! Why do the radial buttons stop changing? Even when I close the form and open it again, the data in the table is no longer reflected with the buttons in the form.
Not all the choices (numeric codes) for my form's option box are being saved to the associated table.
I am using the options choices in the option group to enter data into a table and do additional things - clicking one option is supposed put a code in the table and then take you another form, while clicking a different option will make a new option box visible so I can collect additional data.
My option group has three options, only the data from the second option, which makes a second option group visible, is being saved in the table. If someone clicks on the first or thrid option, which takes them to another form, the data from that option choice does not get saved to the table.
I am adding a combo box to a form with data sourced from a table. Everything seems ok but when I select an option from the combo list and move to the next record the selection is repeated there also. How do I get to select a different option in the next record?
I am building a form in access and I am trying to find a way where user input isn't possible in the associated textbox when "No" from on option box is selected.
What I am trying to do is create a data entry form to an "order table" using 2 cascading combo boxes. I have created a data entry form based on a query. I can't get the cascading combo boxes to work properly.Here is the code:
Private Sub Combo0_AfterUpdate() Combo2.RowSource = "SELECT L2_ID,L4_Element_name,L5_Category FROM qry_ord WHERE L3_ID = Combo0.Value;" Combo2.DefaultValue = [Combo2].[ItemData](0) Command4.SetFocus End Sub
I have a simple data entry form with drop down facilities on 2 fields. One of these fields incorporates a drop down list from a table but there are occasions when I wish to make a free text entry for the single record, but do not wish to add it to the drop down list.
I have tried to achieve this with a Combo Box but without success, although I am sure that I have read that it is possible.
I have a table of Clients, each of which can have zero or more Contacts. Clicking the Contacts button on the Client form opens a pop-up form that displays the Client's Contacts.
Each Client can have a default Contact, indicated by a DefaultContact checkbox on the Contact form. If the user checks this checkbox, I want to run a piece of code that checks whether any of this Client's Contacts are already set as default and, if so, warns the user before proceeding. If the user goes ahead, 'default' status is assigned to the current Contact & removed from the other.
It seems to me that the obvious place to do this is on the Contact form's BeforeUpdate event, when the record is being saved. However, it's only necessary to do this when the DefaultContact checkbox has been clicked. But there's no 'Dirty' flag for checkboxes & the only way I can think of is to set a global (within the scope of the form) variable and get the BeforeUpdate code to check it before running my 'Default Contact' code above.
In the database, there is a table called "Jobs" which sales enquiries are entered into. In this table, there are fields called "JobStatus" which has the default text of "Quotation Pending" and a combo box "JobLive" which is a "yes/no" field. Normally a job will come in as quotation request and the "JobsLive" field will be set to "no".
Occasionally, a job will come in as confirmed from the outset. In this case, the job will be marked as "live" in the combo box "JobLive". Is it possible to change the "JobStatus" field to "Job Live" when this combo box is changed to "yes"?At any other stage, the "JobStatus" field will be changed using an update query as and when changes are made.
I have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?
I need to add new records to a table depending on what the cbo box displays. I figure this is the way to do it but I it's not working, I have only writen the first select,
Private Sub Comando6_Click() Dim dbPalavraChave As DAO.Database Dim rstchaveCFEPC As DAO.Recordset Set dbPalavraChave = CurrentDb Set rstchaveCFEPC = dbPalavraChave.OpenRecordset("chaveCFEPC")
I have a form which has a combobox where the user selects a record from another table,I want to hide the forms fields [managercontact] and [managertelno] depending on the value of the combobox (manager) from the table details, but its not the value shown in the combobox its the value of another field [type] from the same table called details. Its one of two values being 'conc' or 'ob'.
Hey, I have 2 combo boxes. The first one gives a lis of Prefix letters for railcars. The second uses the value of the 1st and finds railcars that start with the same letters.
finally got the 2nd combo box to list the prefix and number of a railcar based on the 1st combo box and also got it to clear as each run-through starts.
Now that the user can select a number (ex. dfcv1234 as the railcar), I need to find the record with the prefix dfcv and the car number 1234 and load the record to the form for view and editing.
So far, I know it needs to be the after update event and have a select statement that finds the [key], [prefix], [car_number] that matches the value selected on the form but how do I use the key to make the record show on the form?
I have a database of books. I have a combobox listing 3 different status W M R.
W is for Whats next to read, M is for more books too read and R for books read or reading now. I can enter a new book by calling up the add a book form from any of those 3 forms.
If I forget to enter a letter in the combo box then the book is lost to those 3 forms as what they see depends on that status letter and I have to go to the table and enter a letter from there.
I want to know if I can auto populate the field (W M R) depending on which form opened the add a book form.
I want to display the text from one combo in a text box in another form based on what's selected in a second combo box. The text box is in a different form from the combo boxes.
Sub D_ComponentTypeCmb_Change()
If Me.D_ComponentNameCmb.Value = "Customise" Then Forms!CustomComponentF!C_ComponentTxt.Value = Me.D_ComponentTypeCmb Else Forms!CustomComponentF!C_ComponentTxt.Value = "" End If End Sub
I've recently decided to move a database that had all its information on 1 table and divided it into multiple tables.
Attached is the relationship as well as the form.
The issue I have is that when I click the form, it only shows a blank record with none of previous records.
Data entry is already set to NO. I'm wondering if it's an issue with my relationships, tblStudioDescription is the parent table and the others are child tables so I linked them with the ID and set referential integrity.
I'm looking for VBA code.Basically I have a drop down with 3 options on a form but need it to pull up a window to input depending on which option is selected. One selection of the options if selected will not require the input of data, as it can just input a set value or be left blank (haven't totally figured how I want to display it). With all this I will need it to display on a form in a certain format, in which I would like the drop down value displayed with the data inputted, though with the one option without data just would display drop down value.
I have tried creating a combo box in a form and as I have gone through the steps, the option to bind each choice that I created in my drop down box for the form is not an option, so how do I make each choice in my drop down box access the report I need?
