I have a continuous form which has 1 field in which is a combo box which has a list of names. Once you select a name, the next record down is available for selection. This is because my tables PK is a autonumber. How do i filter the records to only show the names which have not been previously entered in my above records.
View RepliesI 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...
Hi everyone,
I have two combo boxes on the same form bound to a table. I want the contents of the next combo box to change based on the previous combo selection e.g
cboContinent cboCountry
Africa Zambia
Africa Congo
Africa South africa
Europe England
Europe Holland
If I choose Africa in cboContinent, I want to see only Zambia, South Africa and Congo under cboCountry and if I choose Europe I want to see only England and Holland
Thanks

I have a form with a checkbox and a combo box. When I click the checkbox, I would like it to only show the specified records that are in the combo box. The current code I have is this:
Code:
Private Sub chkHideComplete_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
If Me.chkHideComplete = True Then
Me.filter = "[ReservationStatus] = 3"
Me.FilterOn = False
[Code] ....
I basically want to hide all records that have "1" in the combo box.
Only thing left is a combobox (dropdown) with predefined values. What i want is, as soon you have picked a value from the combobox, save the record and go to the new blank record, the last picked value of that combobox auto appears in the combobox for the new record.

(I have attached part of this database to this post) It all works fine but after selecting the first player in the first combo box and then selecting the second combo player I would like the player selected previously not to show up. Is this possible or do I have to rethink the way players are selected.

I have a combo box populated from a table containing names. Whomever processes the order selects their name from the combo box. Some entry persons have left the company but I cannot delete their names from the table as the orders are stored with their names and I want to maintain that history. Is there a way to hide their names from being displayed in the combo box?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I had a small problem with combo box . Is there any way to store the previous value of the combo box. Last time Pat showed me a way to collect the value by .oldvalue property of the combo box and it worked fine. But it working only for saved record and one time only. If I choose different value one more time without saving the record, the .oldvalue is not changing..Is there any way to make this happen. I am attaching a sample db with this. If someone can clear this please update the db or show me the code to do that.....
Thanks in advance
Thanks
Is there a method you can use to hide the drop-down arrow on a combo box until the combo box is selected?

Hi Guys,
I have a problem. I'm trying to import values to a Combo List from a table:
Row Source = SELECT Tasks.Milestones FROM Tasks;
where Task is a table and Milestones a field of that table. In this field (Milestones) there are repeated values, but I'd like to hide those duplicates when I want to chose them from the Combo List. I don't know If it is clear, if not it's because I'm not an Expert of Access :p
Thanks a lot for your attention,
Ciao

Hello!
I have honestly spent the better part of the past two days searching this forum and trying (but failing) to find a solution to my problem.
I know that my question has been asked many times, and several possible solutions have been given... however, none of them work for me:-( Oh, by the way, I just started using Access (2003) this Monday, so please IF there are anyone that can offer assistance, please do so in silly detail...
I have a form with several combos. One combo I would like to enable only if one specific choice is selcted in the previous combo. The solution given to many before me is to enter the following in the After_Update field of the first Combo:
Private Sub Source_AfterUpdate()
If Source = "Contracted Operator/Agent" Then
AgentOperator.enabled = True
Else
AgentOperator.enabled = False
End If
End Sub
After I have done this, the AgentOperator combo does become disabled, but it is also disabled when "Contracted Operator/Agent" is chosen in the Source Combo. I thought the code was supposed to leave the "Contracted Operator/Agent" enabled??? Why is it not doing this? Why is it disabling with all choices?
I would be really grateful if someone can be kind enough to help me. I feel so stupid not being able to handle this one on my own. It really is hard to over the years have become somewhat of an Excel professional, but now I am a complete novice....
Thank you so much in advance!!!
I have a form that currently uses a "catch all" table for listing available equipment to choose from for an equipment field. I call it tblEquipment. What I want to do is to make it so when I type a name in (1 of 35) in one field of the current record, the record source for the equipment field immediately looks at a different table that has equipment available only for that name. To do this I plan on making 35 different tables with limited data originally found in tblEquipment. I would call these tblEquipment1, tblEquipment2, etc. I do not use a sub form, nor do I want to.
So my questions are:
1) can this be done
2)If it can be done, how can I do it?
I have a Suppliers database which contains a form that will allow me to place orders with Suppliers.The Main form has a combo box that allows me to select the supplier. The combo box is called SupplierID with the following:
Row source: SELECT Suppliers.SupplierID, Suppliers.CompanyName FROM Suppliers ORDER BY Suppliers.CompanyName;
The subform is called Stock Subform witha combo box called ProductID with the following:
Row source: SELECT DISTINCT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Suppliers.CompanyName, Products.Discontinued FROM Suppliers INNER JOIN Products ON Suppliers.SupplierID=Products.SupplierID WHERE (((Products.Discontinued)=0)) ORDER BY Products.ProductName;
Event Procedure - AfterUpdate: Private Sub ProductID_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Err_ProductID_AfterUpdate
Dim strFilter As String
' Evaluate filter before it's passed to DLookup function.
strFilter = "ProductID = " & Me!ProductID
[code]..
The Link fields are done on the Purchase Order ID (PONoID).What I want to achieve is to select the supplier from the combo box (SupplierID) on the main form and then the combo box (ProductID) on the subform to filter to only show products directly supplied by the Supplier selected on the Main Form.
I'm looking for a way to have a text box auto fill based on the selection of a combo box on the same form. I cannot use the method i find all over the internet of using multiple columns in the combo box and basing the text box on that because the combo box already has multiple columns being used to determine its own possibilities and other combo box possibilities.
I would really just like the text box to work like this, but im still kinda inexperienced in VBA...
If combo box is "F004-001", then text box is "237"
If combo box is "F004-003", then text box is "280"
I know how to add in an "after update" thing, but i do not know how to do If/then statements.
i have a table with three column Named

G'day. I've been browsing the forum trying to find a solution to a problem, without much luck, and am hoping that someone might be kind enough to help me more directly.
I'm a biologist and a newbie to access: with the distinction of being completely clueless about VBA. Nonetheless, I have been tasked with creating a database for storing data obtained from biological surveys of juvenile salmon and harvest/spawner surveys of adult salmon.
The bones of the db are in place and functional. The problem I have is streamlining the data entry process to minimise keystrokes/mouse clicks.
I have a subform for entering fish records with attributes such as 'species_name', 'fork_length', 'count', 'presence of tags, etc. The idea is that fish can be entered as individuals (count=1) or groups (count>1) with attribute data at the appropriate level (eg, fork lengths only entered for individuals. We typically measure the fork lengths of the first 20 individuals of each species and then tally the remainder).
One problem I face is that fish often occur in schools, and it becomes quite tiresome to click and select the same species_name combo box value for each record when entering multiple individuals of fish of the same species.
What I would like to do is set the default value for that combo box (on the fish subform) to match the value entered for the previous record.
I suspect that you could use the after update trigger to execute some code to change the default value each time something is entered manually into the combo box. Unfortunately, I know nothing about how to write the appropriate code.
Can anyone offer me some guidance?
Thanks in anticipation.
Sincerely,
Craig Dolphin
I made a form for users to go back and see saved records as and when required. However my cascading combo box are not showing the saved information. Information is saved in back end.
