I have a combo box with 2 columns, Item # and the Item Description. As of right now I have to type the Item # and it will autofill the text. I was wondering if there is a way if I don't have the Item # that I can search/type the description in the combo box field and it will autofill?
View RepliesSo I've got a form set up, and it uses a combo box to find the name of a persons record to populate the form. Simple enough stuff, the wizard takes you through it. It works fine.
However the people that use the database have kinda thrown me a curveball by asking if the search function can search any part of the name. For example, you've got a John Smith. If you enter Smith into the combo box, it won't find the record because it's the second name, you have to type in John.
Is there a way to use wildcards in the combobox so you can type in first or last names and get the same normal combo box effect?
I am new to MS Access database and I am currently developing a DB with search function in a form for an inventory purpose, I have followed some VB codes from the web.
Here is my issue; when I try to search using the configured combo box in the form it gives me these sets of values, here is the screenie //oi57.tinypic.com/24fxwzk.jpg (just add the http: before the forward slashes as the site wont allow me to post images or links yet)
Row source for data: "-1";"Office 2010";0;"Office 2007";1;"Visio 2010";2;"Visio 2007";3;"Project 2010";4;"Project 2007"
and here is the VB code:
If Not IsNull(Me.compName2) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([Computer Name] Like ""*" & Me.compName2 & "*"") AND "
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.cUser2) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([Current User] Like ""*" & Me.cUser2 & "*"") AND "
[Code] ...
I just wanted to eliminate the numbers and replace them with the actual values as name. ex. "-1";"Office 2010" instead of (-1) doing the search, it should be the value "Office 2010"
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.
Ok,
I have three tables that are named different, but have the same column names, but different data in them. The data in each table is linked by a master table that has a primary key.
What I need is a way to make a form with a box where I can search on a value that could be in any of the three tables and then the associted information from the site will display in the above boxes.
(Site Master Table contains all site information and the primary key)
(The three tables are sales order information. Stage Only table, Install table, and srop ship table)
Any ideas?

Dim strJoin As String
[Code] .....

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a combo box with two columns. The first column has a drop down list of radiology studies (2view Cervical spine, 2view Lumbar spine etc.) the second column has the associated CPT code specific to that study. When I click on the drop down box on my form, the first column I can see both columns but when I pick one only one of them shows. Is there a way to see both columns or should I just add the CPT code to the first column?

In my Access DB, I have a field named ‘REFNO’. This contains reference numbers of some communications. I have a Combo Box to search records with this ‘REFNO.’ It so happened that there were two communications with the same REFNO. When I typed the wanted number in the Combo Box, only one record was displayed in the form which was not the one I wanted. I was able to see the other record by opening the table. Is there a way to display the next record with the same number in the form with the Combo Box? Grateful for help.
View 1 Replies View Related:mad: I have a combo box which is being used for surname searching. It displays surnames in the first column and first names in the second column. I would like the user to be able to type or select a surname from the dropdown list and where there are multiple entries of that surname select the correct record. At present the first matching surname is the one that keeps being selected.
I am displaying the complete record in fields lower down in the same form.
I also have a firstname search combobox but the code will be almost identical.
Can someone help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.
I have a form which shows contact information. I have added a combo box which automatically shows the information of the selection in the combo box. So, far no problem.
However, what I would like is that (since there will be a lot of contact in it) you can search inside the combobox. Say, for instance, you have the following info:
1. Albert Einstein
2. Ally McBeal
3. Anastacia
4. Bob Dole
When you enter the 'A', only the first three items stay in the combo box. After entering 'AL', only the first two items stay in the combo box.
How should I go about creating such a combo box? I already saw that when entering characters, it selects the first item that corresponds with the characters entered.
Also, when placing a combo box on the form, linked to the form (a standard function in Access) ... how do I select the first record of the form in the combo box?. Say that Albert Einstein is the first item which is shown in the form, it should also be selected in the combo box. Now, the combo box stays empty.
Any help is appreciated!

i have a combo box reading in two fields from a table - id and name. Is it possible to have "autofill" pick up the name but when i make my selection, the id becomes selected.
i.e. if i have these:
ID NAME
1 Pete
2 Dave
3 Alan
and i type in "Dav" and press enter, the value in the combo box will be the id "2".
thanks
hi all
i have a drop down combo with 2 columns. the left column stores the value and the right column places a value in a text box uisng =[txtbox].column(1)
it works fine until i have a duplicate value in the left column. the right column makes the value unique. eg.
column0 column1
s1..............02
s1..............03
the problem ocurrs when choosing from the cbo with the same value. it always seems to slip back and choose the value with the lowest .column(1) value. in the above example, if I select s1 03, for some reason after the cbo drops back up, s1 02 is selected.... even though i didn't select it. weird!
Clearly i'm doing something access doesn't like.
Any ideas are much appreciated.

Hello, I am using an IIF statement in my SQL criteria, and was wondering "if" it was still possible to reference a column within a combo box... here is one iif statement
Like IIf(IsNull([Forms]![fSampleSearch]![cboCustomerName]),"*",[Forms]![fSampleSearch]![cboCustomerName])
I want to refer to the third column of cboCustomerName... How would I do this ?
Hello everyone,
I have a combo box on a form tha displays information based on 2 columns from a table.What I want the combo to do is to allow the user to select the row he wants and for the field that is bound to the combo box to store the outcome of collumn1 + collumn2 (string values).
Is this at all possible and if so how can I do it cause I can't find a way.
Thanks for all your time and effort :)

I am extremely new to access. I am trying to add a combo box to one of my columns. Basically i have about ten columns of which a couple of them I want to have combo boxes so that the information that is in each of these columns is standardized. Currently all I have is my ten columns with headings set out.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi, I have a combo with the following columns listed:
ProjectID
Project Number
Project Name
The width of the bound column (column 1) is 0, and Project Number and Project Name list properly in the combo box. However, on selection, only Project Number (Column 2) jumps into the box. Is there any way of getting the third column (Project Name) to also display after the selection has been made?
Many thanks
Database description
I have one to many relationships between tables related with PersonID. From the entry forms I enter data and there is another form to search data. The data search form displays some 5 fields from different tables: first name, last name, phone, email...
Problem description
When I enter new data in all the above named fields, then the search engine can find and display the new record. However, when I leave blank some of the fields, let's say, the phone field, then the search does not display the entire row, although the first and last name, for example, exist in the appropriate table.
I would appreciate, if anyone could help me to solve the problem.
Thanks
ok, i have just had a lengthly conversation with my user and i need an advanced search system.
what i would need is a search function, that does not only list the full field details from each record in the combos..
here is what i mean.. i have a quotation form with different locations and prices in a list box. i have a text box at the top of the form with an onchange event that alters the results in the list box.
so if the user types 'a'.. only the axxxxx records are displayed.. if they type 'ab' only the 'abxxxx records are shown.. and so on.
because my customer may not remember the exact address of their pickup or destination, i cant use this system, because i wont know the first letter of the details previously entered..
eg.. a user may have been picked up from '5 house street, new hampshire crescent.
if all the customer remembers is 'hampshire crescent.. then the above system will not reveal my record..
therefore i would need a search box at the top that allows me to search for any word (or identical consecutive characters) within a chosen field.
can this advanced string search be done in access?
I have a table containing customer details and a form which allows you to view them like records.how i could make something that enables me to search their fullname that would take me straight to that record.
