Having an excruciatingly hard time seting up a txtBox and listBox to search records
ListBox, which contains an agency name should display all but filter out as user types in the textBox above. this listbox should allow a user to double-click to bring up record.
Will really appreciate the help! I have seen it being done on Access – and was wondering if anyone knows of a link or tip on setting this up!
ThankYou Friends!
i have a form porblem. I have a search form embedded onto my main form its really a listbox that when i click the records in it they display the record.
prob;em is that when i delete the record it still shows in the listbox
So I created a search form which filters my results. Apparently I don't have enough posts to link to the source of the code though. The code is from this website, /forums/showthread.php?t=188663
I then wanted to allow users to double click a result in the listbox to take them to the form which contains details about that record, however the listbox doesn't point to the correct record.
-When nothing is specified in the search field, all records are shown in the listbox, but double clicking on the first record takes me to a form that has no information. Clicking the second record takes me to the Detail Form of the first record.
-When information is put into the search field, the results are filtered and only a few display, however clicking the first result again takes me to a blank form while the second result takes me to the first record of the unfiltered list. There is no way to reach the Detail Form for the last result of the listbox.
-I tried right clicking the results in the listbox and copy pasting the information. The first result gave me a "0", the second a "1", and so on and so forth. This was the same whether or not the information was filtered or not.
-I tried switching to a combo box and got the same results.
hello guys! i hope you can help me with this.
can somebody show me how to do this in access?
here is the link of the VB version.
http://www.codeguru.com/vb/controls/vb_listbox/article.php/c2773/
my data in the listbox will be coming from a table with 3 columns, but ill be using only the 1st column (unique) during the search.
some people suggest me to use combobox, but for some reason i have to use a textbox and a listbox.
thanks in advance for the help!
I have successfully created a dynamic search form, which filters a listbox as the user is typing into a textbox.However, I am now trying to make the search more basic, which I cannot do. I want the listbox to be blank, and only display results where the number in the textbox matches one of the fields in the listbox.
Code:
Sub SearchFor()
'Create a string (text) variable
Dim vSearchString As String
'Populate the string variable with the text entered in the Text Box SearchFor
vSearchString = SearchForProp.Text
[code]....
why the code below is not functioning properly. When I type in an acronym in the textbox, it keeps saying there is an error "Run-time error '3345': Unkown or invalid field reference 'ABO'." I do have ABO in the field.
The dysfunctional code:
Code:
Private Sub btnFind_Click()
If (TxtFind & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.FindFirst "[Acronym] = " & TxtFind
[Code] .....
The red highlighted line is where the debugger leads me to. Something with identifying the field? I would like to enable the search procedure to search throughout the entire records rather than just a specific field. How may I write such a line or two?
I'm using Access 2010, though am also familiar with Access 2007. I have a listbox populated with a query (concatenated last and first names with a bound ID field that's invisible). One of my users asked if it would be possible to search the listbox by more than the first letter of the name. As it stands now, if you type Smith, the focus would go to the first name starting with the letter "H", rather than Smith.
I've spent a lot of time researching this and come to the conclusion that this functionality does not exist within a listbox. However, I've discovered, a popular suggestion is to change the listbox to a combobox, which has this functionality. Since my listbox is multiselect, that would not work for me.
I have a search form that uses several comboboxes, textboxes and checkboxes that are used as criteria in a query. You enter in the relevant information, hit search and a report opens based on the filtered query.
What I would like to do is change one of these combo boxes to a listbox and use the multiple selection as the query criteria. I know it's not as simple as just putting the listbox as a criteria in the query, and I've also tried many different variations on the varItem and strWhere code.
How to create a search BUTTON to give results on the listbox after a user typing the desired keywords to search.
As of now, the database has "On Change" property that whenever a key is pressed (from time to time; letter per letter) it automatically change. What I want is for the user to finish the word he/she wanted to search then theres a Search BUTTON to press in order to show the results.
Attached is the database...
And also, how to put Reset BUTTON - to reset the search box and ready for the user to type again.
I am using John Big Booty's code for narrowing down the content of a listbox. It works beautifully, with the exception of when I type the character "i" into the search box it gives me a Runtime 2110, cannot setfocus error. I have run through the entire alphabet in lower and upper case and consistently get the code failing on lowercase i only.
Here is the code:
Private Sub searchFor_Change()
'Create a string (text) variable
Dim vSearchString As String
'Populate the string variable with the text entered in the Text Box SearchFor
vSearchString = searchFor.Text
[Code] ....
Here is the link to the original thread that the code came from. [URL] ....
I have built a custom search form in a MS Access 2010 database so that users can find specific records to edit. After entering the search criteria and hitting a Search button, another form opens up that shows the search results. This second form includes a command button for generating a report of the search results.
Right now, the custom search form and the search results form are both working properly, but the search results report is showing every record in the database instead of just the search results. This is true whether I access the report via the command button in the form or the navigation pane. I'm not sure if I need to correct my VBA code or the report's properties.
I have a form with a listbox on it and I am trying to make a button that will delete the selected records from a table. The List box is filled from a query. Any help would be very appreciated.
Table to delete records from = tbllinkPersonel_Training
listbox = lstTraining_In

I have a form with a subform which has a listbox on it which lists all the letters sent home to a student. However despite the subform being linked by admission Number the list box is showing all records and not just the ones associated with the student.
I know this is going to be really obvious but please can someone tell me what is wrong?
Here's a tough one that has been driving me crazy! (Probably easy, but I don't want to admit it!)
I have a form with a listbox called "lst_exclist". The recordsource for this listbox is the following query:
SELECT tbl_collexcludereasons.priority, tbl_collexcludereasons.excname, IIf(tbl_collexcludereasons.enabled=-1,'Enabled','Disabled') AS enabled, tbl_collexcludereasons.priority FROM tbl_collexcludereasons ORDER BY IIf(tbl_collexcludereasons.enabled=-1,'Enabled','Disabled') DESC , tbl_collexcludereasons.priority;
Which basically gives me this with dummy data:
2 PIPELINE ENABLED
3 HELLO ENABLED
5 GOODBYE ENABLED
1 BAD DISABLED
4 GOOD DISABLED
6 LAST DISABLED
I had two command buttons, one up arrow and one down arrow. The up arrow is supposed to move the selected record on the listbox up by exchanging the next lesser priority number with itself. The down arrow does the same. The DISABLED records are supposed to be ignored on the move up and move down procedures, meaning only ENABLED records are allowed to exchange priority numbers, and thus move up or down on the list. I tried the following code:
Me!lst_exclisthidden = Me!lst_exclist
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
Dim startingnumber As Integer
Dim endingnumber As Integer
Dim nametochange As String
Dim getchangerst As DAO.Recordset
If IsNull(Me!lst_exclist.Column(0)) = True Then
MsgBox "Please choose an entry on the above list to move.", vbCritical, "Error"
Exit Sub
Else
End If
If Me!lst_exclist.Column(2) = "Disabled" Then
MsgBox "There is no need to move a disabled selection, please enable the selection to change it's priority.", vbCritical, "Error"
Exit Sub
Else
End If
startingnumber = Me!lst_exclist.Column(0)
nametochange = Me!lst_exclist.Column(1)
endingnumber = startingnumber + 1
If Me!lst_exclisthidden = acLast Then
MsgBox "You cannot move the bottom selection on the list down, please choose another one.", vbCritical, "Error"
Exit Sub
Else
End If
While DCount("*", "tbl_collexcludereasons", "Priority = " & endingnumber & " and Enabled = -1") = 0
endingnumber = endingnumber + 1
Wend
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update tbl_collexcludereasons set tbl_collexcludereasons.priority = tbl_collexcludereasons.priority - 1 " & _
"Where tbl_collexcludereasons.priority <= " & endingnumber & " and tbl_collexcludereasons.priority > " & startingnumber
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update tbl_collexcludereasons set tbl_collexcludereasons.priority = " & endingnumber & " " & _
"Where tbl_collexcludereasons.excname = '" & nametochange & "'"
Me.Refresh
Me!lst_exclist = endingnumber
Me!lst_exclisthidden = Null
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
But it seems to loop when it gets the the area it is checking for numbers because the highest records is disabled, so it's ignored. How can I make this work? Please help!
Thanks

what is the best approach to get my listbox's values on a report. i have a form that has this listbox (the values in listbox can always change.. because the user has filter options.. to tell the listbox what records to display). this report will be run off of the same form (as the listbox is on)... can someone point me into the right direction?..thanks!

I currently have a ListBox which I am using on a form as a "jump To..." record selector. It has to show 4 values to the users, and so far it has worked quite well. However, I recently added some queries to the footer of the form to help narrow down the data for searches, or if the user wants to see all open data of a certain topic. I'd like to have the ListBox "refresh" and only display the results of the query, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. The root of the problem seems to be that the initial SQL for the ListBox is selecting values from the under-lying table, and when the filter is applied, it simply doesn't care. When you click on entries that aren't in the filtered dataset, it doesn't error out or anything, and when you click ones that ARE in the filtered dataset, it does work properly... I'm close... How do I filter the listbox as well?
Thanks,
I have populated a list box with records using 3 columns. now I want to clear the list box
Me!Listproperty.Value = "" does not do it
what code should i use ?

I need the following code to take data from a form and input it into two tables linked by the item ProjectID. My Code is as follows:
Code:
Dim pDate As Date
Dim fid, jan As Integer
Dim leng As Double
Dim strSQL As String
Dim varItem As Variant
pDate = Date
[Code] ....
I take the items that I'm putting into DailyT to track the date, foreman, Job Number, and how long they spent on the job. I got the DailyT part figured out.
What I don't know how to do is use the items in the list box lstSel and put them into the table ProjectT so that each record in ProjectT has the ProjectID from DailyT and the ActivityID that comes from the items in the listbox.
I know I'll need a loop but I don't know how to get the autonumber ProjectID (or define it) from the entry that I made in DailyT to put into ProjectT.
I am using a SQL statement as the rowsource of a listbox. the expected result should be a list of 452 items which I verified by pasting the SQL statement into the Access query design and running the query directly. For some reason, in most cases, the listbox will only display 21 records. Other times it may display more than that (with the same SQL statement). What's really unusual is when I click on the form's "Find" button after the first set of 21 lines appears: it will then append more records to the list. Sometimes by doing this I can display all 452 records. The results seem to be somewhat random. I've tried adding delay loops, DoEvent statements, multiple requeries, repaint, etc. -- nothing I've tried seems to help. Any ideas?

I'm using this code on a command button to delete single entries in a listbox... and it works fine
Private Sub DeleteMovie_Click()
CurrentDb.Execute "Delete from " & _
"tblMovies " & _
"where Title = """ & Me.lstList & """", dbFailOnError
Me.Requery
Me.lstList.Requery
Me.lstList = ""
End Sub
However, I want to try to select and delete multiple items in the list box. So I changed the property to allow multiple selections and now the button doesn't do anything when I click it. Ideally, I'd like the button to provide a "are you sure (yes or no)" prompt. Anyone know how to get this working? thanks a bunch
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
[Code] ......
I have button on my form that uses a selected record in a listbox (non multi-select) to run code that updates a table. The code itself works great so long as there is a record selected in the listbox. If no record is selected an error is thrown. I'd prefer the end user not to ever see that error. If the end user clicks the button and no records are selected, I'd like for nothing to happen at all. I've tried several variations of checking the listbox with an if / then statement to see if records are selected and if so to exit sub, but they all throw errors when no record is selected in the listbox.
Code:
If IsNull(Me!lstHeatTreatments) Then
Exit Sub
End If
[Code].....
I'm using the following code to clear selected records from a listbox after a button is pressed:
Code:
For i = 0 To lstProducts.ListCount - 1
lstProducts.Selected(i) = False
Next
The code works great except that it leaves the listbox scrolled all the way to the bottom. What is the best way to scroll back up to the top of the listbox without selecting another record?
I have a form where I do a search and find the correct auditor in the listbox from the AuditorTable. This form is opened from a master form where I have the same fields in the table (ClientTable). What I need is that when I find the one, I double click it and the records from that auditor is passed to the client table.how to use Dlookup.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm using access 2010. I want to put some code behind a button that will allow the user to add selected products in a listbox to which ever operation is selected in a combobox by creating records for each product / operation combination in a third table:
tblProducts
tblOperations
tblOperationProductMM
- ProductID
- OperationID
I have a form with a combobox on top that allows the user to select the operation for which they want to add products. There is also a listbox that displays all records in tblProducts. The user can select one or more products and then the idea is that they can then press a button that will use the selected record IDs from the list box and the record ID from the combo box to create new records in the many to many table.
I have a form which contains a listbox. It is a multi-select listbox. And I have a button on the form which runs a report. But I want the report to only show the selected records from the listbox. The report gets its records from an underlying query. But how do I make the selected records on the listbox become the query criteria?
