How To Change Item Source For Multi-valued Field From A Linked Table To A List
Feb 16, 2013
I am using MS Access 2007.
I have created a multi-valued field "Product Category" that lookups data items from a linked table. So, the Data Type for the multi-valued field "Product Category" is Number.
Now I want to change the Data Type of "Product Category" from Number to Text, and make a value list that I can type values in and can provide the same data items as the linked table.
How to change item source for the multi-valued field from a linked table to a list that I can type in values? Is there a feature provided by MS Access 2007 can enable such a conversion?

I have 2 tables with text fields
Table 1 has 3 fields and 2 rows
DEVICE| DISPLAY1 | DISPLAY2
_______________________________
A | A1 | A2
B | B1 | B2
Table 2 has 2 fields, but the second is a multi-value field
DEVICE | MDISPLAY
_____________________________
A | **MUTI-VALUE** based off the table 1
In the row source of the Multi-value Field MDISPLAY, I have
Select DISPLAY1, DISPLAY2 from TABLE1
The problem. I can get the MDISPLAY field to display the items from Table 1, but it grabs ALL of them.I need it to display ONLY the DISPLAY1 and 2 field associated with the value of the DEVICE for the current row in table 2, which is 'A'
SO if I look at the row of the table 2 that has the device 'A', the MDISPLAY field for that row should have.Just A1 and A2, NOT A1,A2,B1,B2(all the rows). how to access / syntax of the current value of the DEVICE field in my row source.Select DISPLAY1, DISPLAY2 from TABLE1 where table1.Device = Table2.device /or Device ... etc.. 'doesn't work

I have a linked table and want to change it's data source to another table entirely -- ie: different file name.
Can this be done with linked tables, or can you just link to another file with the same name but in another directory? If linked tables have this limitation, how would you accomplish what I'm trying to do. I want to keep the same name for the linked table.
Ultimately, I want to populate a listbox with the different files in a directory and change tblSource to point at the chosen data source.
Thanks,
Randy

I have a main form with multiple sub-forms (each a separate tab). Having imported the fields from the equivalent tables, none of the multi-value combo box fields on the sub-forms work as they do not show anything. I tried implementing one on the main form (to test) and it worked fine. What am I doing wrong with the sub-forms fields?

I am trying to make a database containing the technicians of our companies.
I found a online template i am using, and this has a quick search field.
I have created a multivalued field that contains the technicians skills. (pulldown with checkboxes)
When i try to use the quick search field access returns a error message saying something like:
"The multivalued field '[Category]' can not be used in a WHERE- or HAVING-string."
The field i use for skills is an old category field.... Just renamed and changed a bit..

i have table on sharepoint which i can not link to my access database so i have to import it. table on sharepoint is same as in access and i need table from sharepoint updated with my access. unfortunately this table has multi valued fields. when i import table from sharepoint it, the table gets renamed so if the original table is tablea the imported table becomes tablea1. im trying to update my table in access but then i get error "An INSERT INTO query cannot contain multi-valued field." if i remove multi valued fields from query, the query is working fine. how i can get the values into my table in access?

Suppose I have a front end and backend (tables) database which I want to deploye. Currently Access tries to find the backend in the same absolute location (rather than relative position). This causes a problem as drive letters change and sometimes I would want it in a specific location on my computer and another place on deployed computer. Is there anyway to change source of linked tables after compiling to ACCDE

My list box will be used to populate a form, is it possible that once the item is dble-clicked, it reverts to a different color to let the user know it has already been selected once or can the row be locked once it has been selected?

I have two fields in a table that have multiple values. Example:
Field A:
CT, CA, PA
Field B:
CT, CA
I want to compare the two fields and indicate that there is a match because in this example CT and CA are in both fields. I would like to create a function. I'm not sure if I would have to use something with like or create a loop.

I have a field in a table that I want it to be multivalued. The values are stored in a different table. I tried to do that and it worked fine. But when I wanted to display a pie chart in a report based on a query, the values didn't show up.
Example:
EmployeeName: X
TermenationReasons: 1,2,3 (multivalued field - values stored in a different table)
I though of just changing the field type to a text, and create a combo box in the form that allows me to add multiple values, and appear on the table and the query, and the pie chart too.how to make a multi-valued combo box in a form.

I have a multi slect list box (simple) and I need to find and select an item using vba - e.g., the bound column is the ID field and I need to select a specific ID (which will be different each time) as opposed to selecting the 100th record for example. How do I do this?

I have a subform query which includes EventName, Date, and Tags. Tags is a multivalued field.
What I need to do is allow people to filter this subform using the inbuilt filter, and then use the filtered data to populate a graph.
I am doing this by taking the Filter property from the form and then using VBA to build an SQL statement with the right data, and using that on the graph. It works fine when people filter on the EventName and Date fields.
However, when someone filters the Tags field, it fails. The filter property gets set to something along the lines of
([Lookup_Tags].[TagName]="whatevertagtheypick")
This syntax seems not to be supported when I put it into the SQL statement.

The following code works to change the column header name for a listbox in form view when the data source is a local table, but not when the data comes from a sharepoint list.
Code:
sqlstatement = "SELECT ID, PONum as [PO Number], ActDate as [Date], VendorName as [Vendor Name], Service, BuildingNumber as [Building Number], ReservationDescription as [Description], POAmount as [Amount], QuoteType as [Type of Quote], Comments" & _
" FROM ActivityLog" & _
" WHERE (Activity = 'AcceptReservation') AND (PSCName = '" & Me.PSCCombo4.Column(0) & "')" & _
" ORDER BY ActDate;"
'MsgBox sqlstatement
Me.EditPOListBox.RowSource = sqlstatement
sqlstatement = ""
Also it appears that there is no such thing as a caption property for a sharepoint list column.

I have been working on quite a few multi user Access projects in the past few months with a backend and a front end which has linked tables.
I would like to know if there is any way to find out the source of a table linked to the front end and where would its location be on the network.

how to do a particular thing in Access 2010 (I don't even know if it is possible).
I have a table named PRODUCTS:
ID_PRODUCT (primary key, autonumber long integer)
ALLOWED_OPTIONS (multi value text lookup field: "Option 1";"Option 2";...;"Option 9")
So I can store, for each different product, none, one, or more options to let the customers choose from.
I have a table named ORDERS:
ID_ORDER (primary key, autonumber long integer)
FK_CUSTOMER (foreign key, linked to the primary key of a CUSTOMERS table; represents the customer that places the order.)
FK_PRODUCT (foreign key, linked to PRODUCTS.ID_PRODUCT; represents the product that the customer has choosen)
CHOOSEN_OPTION (lookup text field; the customer must choose ONE option among those allowed for the product he has ordered)
The problem is that I would like the CHOOSEN_OPTION field to show as a combobox, listing the values stored into PRODUCTS.ALLOWED_OPTIONS, so that when a customer buys a product, he can choose only among the options allowed by that particular product.How can I manage a multi value field to populate a combobox, in which every item stays on its line? If I use, as a query to populate the combobox:
select [PRODUCTS].[ALLOWED_OPTIONS]
from PRODUCTS
where [PRODUCTS].[ID_PRODUCT]=[FK_PRODUCT]
I obtain an empty combobox.If I refer to the last field as [ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT], Access asks me to type a value for "[ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT]", treating it as an unknown parameter.I think that the problem is that when the combobox expands, the record is not committed yet, so FK_PRODUCT is unknown (NULL?). But this happens even if I commit the record typing something in FK_PRODUCT and then I re-enter the record and I expand the CHOOSEN_OPTION combobox, that is still empy although FK_PRODUCT exists, now.Is there a particular syntax to refer to a field in a record not committed yet (something like "THIS." or "ME.")?

I have an access database where I have added a new field, but I cannot find the name of that field in the Control Source list to link it from where the data will be entered. It IS in the table, too. Why in the world is it not working.
A user enters a New Job Opening into the form for New Job Opening. Later, a user enters a New Interview in the New Interview form.... when they enter the job opening number into the job opening number field, it auto-populates the other information previously entered into the New Job Opening form into an area within the New Interview form. I have made sure the new field is in the table for the New Job Openings table.

I am trying to make a simple database where the data entered in a form will update to a table. My issue is, one of the fields is manufacturing location where I would like the user to be able to enter multiple locations and then have those locations update the table where the record is stored. I've been able to set up a list box with multi-select but am stuck at getting the table to update with the choices made from the list box selection.

On [Form1] I have a Multi-Select Listbox[List1] which shows Job Numbers [WBS] (The job numbers displaying are a result of a separate query filtered by the Fiscal Year combobox). When I click [CMD1] I want [Query1] results to only be selected [WBS] from the form.What is the best way to code this? I'm a beginner when it comes to VBA.
