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 form on which I use combo boxes to filter a listbox using the following code.
Private Sub FilterpartsList() Dim strRS As String ' Filter the list box appropriately based on the combo box selection(s) strRS = "SELECT partsquery.partname, partsquery.Heritage, partsquery.Description FROM partsquery" If Not IsNull(Me.cbomodelID) Then strRS = strRS & " WHERE modelID = " & Me.cbomodelID
So I have a Tab control. Each tab is assigned to a specific user (which is controlled through another form). So If I assigned Page1 to Smith then Page1 caption reads Smith. Within each page is a list box that is filtered based on what name is in the caption. This works perfectly. My problem is I have another list box that is not within the tab control. I wan this to be filtered based on what tab is active. Both list boxes are bound to a query.
Whenever I create a combobox, Access asks me if I want to grab the values from another table, or if I just want to manually input the possible values.
My question is: is one of the two solutions "better" than the other?
Let's imagine I am creating a Form where I can create a new Contact, and in a listbox (with multiple selections allowed) I want to list the possible character traits, so I have
I think that if I need to store in the Contact records these possible traits, I will have to create a Many-to-Many relationship (therefor creating a junction table) between Contact and Traits.
On the other hand, could I do everything without grabbing values from an extra table and directly inputting the values in the listbox? How would these elements be stored in the Contact record if I allow multiple values in one single field?
I would like to know if the following is possible: I have a table, I have a form based on that table (datasheet view) and I would like for certain columns to visible or not based on the input on a Combobox (list of countries) that is based on another form.
I have searched on the web and I found that the following:
On a button based on the main menu form:
Code: Private Sub Go_Click() Dim stDocName As String Dim stOpen As String stOpen = Me!cboDest stDocName = "Datasheet" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , , , , stOpen
and then on the event "on open" of the form Datasheet I have inserted the following:
Code: Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Select Case OpenArgs Case "USA" Forms![Overflow]![Tasks].Visible = True Forms![Overflow]![Constant Number (Min)].Visible = True
[Code] ....
I have done it as a test, but it appears that it does not work. It opens the forms, but it does not hide or show the columns based on the option, it brings all the columns.
I have a list box called "product list box" based on a query called "searchqry", i also have another listbox called "type list box" , how do i get the type list box to only show "types" based on the section in products list box?
I am looking to loop through all of the rows in a listbox. For each row in the listbox, I want to check if the last name in the Labor column is contained in any records in the Labor column of a recordset. If it is contained, add the column value to a variable to eventually be shown in another listbox. It seems that the loop is not working correctly and the EstHours is always 0 and the instr function doesn't seem to be working.
Code: Sub ScheduledHours() 'on error goto errorhandler Dim LastName As String Dim FullName As Variant Dim EstHours As Long
I am creating a data base to handle access requests to a building. All has gone well so far and ive built tables, reports, forms and used queries. However now im trying to get abit more clever and ive hit a bump of understanding/apprach.
Whilst a ninja in Excel, im still working out which is the pointy end in Access.
The database holds all details of access requests inc: Company attending, Individual attending, Access Levels and Period of attendance. This is all done with forms for the users and functions beautifully (ish).
I can run reports on this data, based on queries (there is much more included than above but you get the idea) and generate all the reports I need.
What I wanted to do was add, following attendance to the site, the card details of the AC card they were given for the visit.
My intention was to have a form with three variables: a combobox that would let you select the individuals company and two text boxes to select a date range in. Leaving just say three or four people from that company on that day rather than everyone who had ever atteneded to sort through and add the card details.
The combo box comes from another query that gave me individual company names from the main table.
I thought a date query (as in placing a more than <> or less than criteria vs textbox value on form in the query build section) could be added but I hadnt got that far.
It seems what I have done works backwards (oops), I can adjust the query from the form but get every record in the table on the form to click through to add card details, which will be abit rubbish when i have 1000's of requests building up in the history.
I have txt input [txt choice] which has a number (1-9) and then a query which uses the following formula to define which records are visible linked to a Yes/No field
Code: =IIf([Forms]![frm selection]![txt choice]="4",Yes,Yes or No)
If the choice is "4" then it works fine, but if the choice is anything but 4 it still shows only the Yes items. If i change the code to
Hi folks, I have a question regarding filtering of a data in a listbox.
Basically the listbox has rows of data from a main table, with 8 columns, i.e. 8 data fields (CustomerID, Product, Subject, Date etc.). At the moment the list box shows all data entries, I then want to filter out certain entries. For example, only show entries with a certain Product. In the main table the Product field is filled by selecting a product from a combo box. I want to filter my listbox using a combobox containing these products. I have the listbox and combobox set up on a form. Is it possible to filter in this way or should I construct an Option Group and filter using that?
After changing the combo (RepSort), the listbox is blank. I have tried this with a table as source and as a query as source. Also with and without the requery.
If someone can spot what is wrong with the code, please fill me in!
I have two tables of information. One is a customer contact list, the second is a list of services currently assigned to the customer.
I am trying to create a setup that allowes me to find the customer name, probably in a table or querie, open up their contact information and have a listbox of all the services assigned to them at the bottem. I would then like to be able to open up one of these services in another form.
'm sure this is possible, but I'm having difficulty getting the listbox to update it's filter for each document. Specifically, as I click through to the next record, listbox does not seem to pull the new Customer ID #.
Here is a Row Source line I got online. It seems to pick the first CID no problem, but does not seem to update for the next one.
SELECT [Policies].[Client Number], [Policies].LAST, [Policies].FIRST, [Policies].MI FROM [Policies] WHERE ((([Policies].[Client Number])=Forms![CLIENT DATA2].[FF CLI #]));
If anybody could direct me to a good source of information on this, I'd appreciate it.
I have a minor problem. I have a table and form with a carpool. I would like to be able to display history by date with the help of the combobox which car you had last week. But I don't know how to go about it.
I have attached a DB and would be glad if someone can but their magic touch to it.
I'll start with explaining what my goal is.. I have a table with workorders, it has a column "date planned" so I can give all the work orders a date when to be executed.
On the other hand I also have a table with the ID of every technician and the dates when their vacation starts and ends, so 3 columns, 1 text, 2 dates.
To link the 2 I use a table "schedule" where I have 4 columns, "ID", "WO", "TechID". WO refers to the workorder nummer that can be found in the schedule table.
My end goal is to have a form with a subform "schedule" where I can see all the workorders in dataview, when I select a workorder in the table I want to fill up a combobox with all the technicians available, so that means that all the ones on vacation on the planned date of that WO are not included in the combobox..
I tried making a select query, but I have no clue how to make a "select ... where (date) is not between ... and ..."
I need a calendar that can go forever that shows weeks and not months and each record i add (or is added by admin form) will show up. I have a calendar attached here to show what i mean but its monthly not weekly.
Basically it needs 7 spots for employee vacation leave, 2 spots for supervisor leave and 2 spots for other leave. My current calendar will only fit the 7 employees and no1 else thus the reason i want to go weekly and not monthly, so it has more room.
I have this form where there's mention of CompanyID
In a subform, I have the information about all the contacts of this Company. In order to see full detail information for a particular contact (of that particular Company) I have a Combobox with a query.
At least: that's the whole idea. Unfortunately it doesn't work in Access: SELECT Contact.ContactID, Contact.Name FROM Contact WHERE ((Contact.CompanyID)=(Me!frmCompany![ContactID]));
Can any help me? I need to do more of the sorts of queries... and I can't figure it out how to use values from forms and parent-forms.
My database is centered on a main form where users select pieces of information from ComboBoxes (primarily) and submit.
The first part of the form, they must choose from a list of our clients, which is a table with with roughly 5000 rows.
Later on in the form, they must choose a contact person from that client. While Client's may have several contact names (which need to be stored in a table), only one name is necessary for the form portion.
How can I make this Contact Person ComboBox only load names attached to the specific Client selected above?
As it stands right now, the Client List has its own table (along with additional information), and Contact Name is a separate Table with a look up field of Client List.
I've filtered a listbox query between two dates selected by a user through an unbound text, however the listbox only changes after you click it. I've requeried it after someone updates the 2 unbound date textboxes, yet it still doesn't work.
I am using the Filtering a listbox method from this post [URL] .....
It works great apart from when i type too many characters and no search results can be found i get a run time error '2105' you cant go to the specific record.
I think it may be because my form has a row source. When the example uses an unbound from?
I found a code which is work good with subform table for searching multivalued Listbox but it doesn't work with open report vba code. This is the code is used for filtering the subform and i need it for openreport command
If Me.cboDiscipline > "" Then varWhere = varWhere & "[Discipline].value = '" & Me.cboDiscipline & "'" End If
This the code (note: its for open filtered report)
Private Sub Toggle3_Click() Dim strReport As String Dim strDateField As String Dim lngLen As Long Dim strWhere As String Dim lngView As Long Const conJetDate = "#mm/dd/yyyy#"
