I usually use ComboBoxes to show a user-friendly name instead of an ID. For example, I would use a ComboBox of EmployeePK, FirstName + " " + LastName and set the first column as the control source but with 0" width.The issue is these are supposed to be read only. I can prevent the user from changing the field but I don't have a good solution for hiding the ability to select the drop down.
My current method is to create a transparent box over the combobox (so it can't be selected) then hide the dropdown arrow with a background colored rectangle.
I Have A Form With A Combobox When I Choose A Record from The Box, The Matching Info From The Table Populates A Textbox Example I Choose The Acct Number From The comboBox And The Company Name Goes In a Textbox and the phone number in another textbox looks like it is fine on the form My Problem Is That When I Look At The Table The Company Name Is In Its acctName field But The Account Number Field Has The Companies Name Aswell How Do I Fix This- and also if you type the number in the acctnumber field on the table it places that number in the acctname textbox of the form there is something that is mixed up here but i dont where
In my database you can search on either number or name. I have therefor, two combo boxes. and it works well, except that...
When I pick by number first, and then try to pick another record using the name combobox, the number combobox still shows the first search I did. I would like the two comboboxes to interact with each other...
I am trying to get get 2 comboxes to refresh from one when cascading. The first combobox (Location) works, but the second one (Catches) doesn't. All I get are the Key values of the catches rather than the values...
I am wondering if it my relationship set up of if my VBA needs to be altered to accommodate the requering the two comboboxes.
Code: Private Sub cboCategory_AfterUpdate() Dim sCatchLocation As String Dim sCatch As String sCatchLocation = "SELECT [tblLocation].[Location_ID], [tblLocation].[LocationCategory_ID], [tblLocation].[Location] " & _ "FROM tblLocation " & _
- My second table contains if it is hardware or software:
- TypeID (Primairy key) - ApparaatID - Type (where I entered hardware and software in 2 different entries)
- The thirt table contains operating systems:
- OSID (Primairy key) - ApparaatID - TypeID - OS_versie (where I entered all the OS I want to enter)
Now I made a form I called problemen with 4 comboboxes.
- cboApparaat - cboType - cboOS - cboProbleem
1) What I want is that when you select device 1 and 4 that cboType can select both hardware and software but with device 2 and 3 you can only select software.
2) If you have selected software is cboType I want you to be able to select 1 of the 11 OS I have pre-entered in the table.
3) That you get specific problems with the previous made choices. For example if you select Hardware in cboType, thta you only get problems with hardware to select from and the same with software and OS.
4) I want a textbox, that will contain the solution of the problem you selected and that if there and several solutions that you get all of them at once.
I have two comboboxes on my form. When the value of the first combobox (SourceWH) changes it performs a requery on the second (DestWH) as the drop-down list needs to be filtered depending on the first value. I have this working fine but my problem arises when I need to be able to swap the values of each combobox. I have created a command button which stores the value of each combobox and then swaps them but my problem is that if I click the button the second combobox becomes blank. I guess this is something to do with the requery taking place after the value of the first combobox is updated but am unsure how to rectify this problem.
The first combobox has the following expression in the expression builder: Action Argument Requery DestWH
The command button has the following code:
Private Sub Swap_Btn_Click() Dim SourceValue, DestValue As String SourceValue = Me.SourceWH.Value DestValue = Me.DestWH.Value Me.DestWH.Value = SourceValue Me.SourceWH.Value = DestValue End Sub
1) How to auto fill in a text box if you select a value from the last of 4 cascade comboboxes.
I have 4 comboboxes where
1 = Apparaat - cboApparaat 2 = Type - cboType 3 = OS - cboOS 4 = Probleem - cboProbleem
With all 4 comboboxes I have the vba code Me.cbo[name combobox].Requery
If I select the last combobox, cboProbeem. I want the textbox underneath to automaticly fill in the solution of that problem. I already tried to use the following vba code
Me.Oplossing = Me.cboProbleem.Column(5)
But it does not work.
2) I want to make a form for customers, where I can fill in customer info, device info and date when there contract started. Now I want to use SUM to fill in the end date of there contract.
I tried and failed to get this to work using a multiselect listbox..I have a list of departments in tblFunctionalArea...My main table is tblStatic..I want to be able to for each record select multiple departments affected by a record and store them in the tblStatic.After looking around i couldn't find many people successfully maanging to store listbox values in a table...
I decided to create 5 fields in tblStatic and in my form create multiple combo boxes cboFunctionalArea1, cboFunctionalArea2 etc etc which are bound to these fields.I want to be able to ensure the list for any combo box requeries and takes out any selection in the other boxes.
I have this working in a strict cascade fashion i.e. in cbo1 all dept's visible, in cbo2 it takes off whatever was selected in cbo1 etc. But if someone then jumps back and deletes the content of cbo3 then the whole thing breaks or if they amend in the wrong order it breaks
hello, i have a form that shows up when I start my database. It has a combo that users use to select their initials.
This form is run by the autoexec macro.
The forms stores users names that then are propagates to other forms without having users each time selecting their initials.
Is there a way I can hide the first form behind others so that it keeps the data active? I have tried to minimixe it but still can see in the gray toolbar. Thanks.
I was wondering if there was a way to hide certain forms or reports from the view when you open an mdb? I would still like them to view it if the form thats not hidden opens the hidden report or form as well.
can i hide a record when i look it in a form. For example i have a table which has 100 records. Can i make some kind of a check box and if that check box is checked to make the record disappear. I want the record to be in the table but i dont need it in the Form.
Can you have a hidden field in a form? Trying to set up an order process system where I need to take a wholesale price of an item then mark it up (behind the scenes) and display only the customer price. How can I accomplish this.
My tab name is SPA and it is the third tab in my form. I want to hide it if the AddToSPA checkbox is checked. This is what I have but I'm getting error 'Compile error: Method or data member not found"
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load() If Me.AddToSPA = True Then Me.SPA.Pages(2).Visible = True Else Me.SPA.Pages(2).Visible = False End If End Sub
I am trying to make a checkbox with different graphics since the checkbox can not be resized. I thought I could stack images on top of each other and toggle between showing and hiding based on if the checkbox was checked. This actually works, but I wanted to hide my checkbox, so I hid it behind my images. This didn't work. So I brought it to the front and made it invisible. This didn't work either. What can I do? The checkbox is linked to the table, but I want the graphics to show thumbs up or down and not see the checkbox.
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.
I have written the following code on a command button to set up a basic password for deleting current record. What I really want to do is hide the password being typed into the input box with asterix's. Here is the current code and password:
Private Sub Toggle33_Click() Dim strPasswd strPasswd = InputBox("Enter Password", "Restricted Form") If strPasswd = "" Or strPasswd = Empty Then MsgBox "No Input Provided", vbInformation, "Required Data"
I am trying to hide certain fields on a form based on the value in another field (if yes or no). I used the change event to enable/disable the fields in question. however, this doesn't work. This is the code below...
Private Sub Combo314_Change() If Me.Combo314 = "Yes" Or Me.Combo314 = "No" Then Me.Reason_Label.Visible = False Me.Combo316.Enabled = False Me.Label946.Visible = False Me.Label77.Visible = False Me.care_not_qualified_date.Enabled = False
I have a toggle control on a form which depending on selection uses a loop and instr to make 'not visible' a set of controls on a subform.(forms! Mainform !subform.form)I get error 2165 but if I test immediatley before the make not visible process it returns the toggle frame as being the active control.
I have a form that displays its records in a Contiuous Form. The controls on the form are: txtRecID, txtStudID, cboTrimester, cboType, fld Comment, and blnReqConf.
My issue is that I need the blnReqConf (Request Conference) checkbox and label controls to only show on the reocrds when/if the cboTrimester = "Tri-2" and the cboType = "Parent" or "Teacher" are selected or displayed.
I have written: If cboTrimester = "Tri-2" And (cboType.Column(1) = "Teacher" Or cboType.Column(1) = "Parent") Then blnReqConf.Visible = True lblReqConf.Visible = True Else blnReqConf.Visible = False lblReqConf.Visible = False End If
The problem is that the controls display on all records throughout the form. How do I make it so that the controls are hidden on some records in the continous form and are shown on others based on the criteria? Is it possible?
I have a split form design. I want to hide a field which I have already set a default value for. But when I make it invisible, the default value is not being recorded.
