I apologize if this has been adressed. I searched but did not find it. Partially I think because it won't let me use the word 'two' in the search. That's kinda important in this case.
I know how to make a lookup combo box. I used the wizard and copied and pasted the code, actually. What I need is the code to base the lookup from two combos.
For example, the records in my table contain information about different districts on certain dates.
I'd like to lookup the record that matches both the Report Date combo and the District combo.
I have two tables, one table (1) hold three fields, one of those fields is the master key (index). The other table (2) has a field which I want to lookup from table 1, that part is working. In the combo box I get all three fields displayed as I make my selection. I want to copy the other two fields as text at the time the lookup index is selected. I do not what the fields to automatically update each time the table is displayed. I have looked at update macros, I've looked at VBA.
I have a table of data regarding companies (contact info, etc). The company I work for provides these companies with up to 10 different products. On my input form, I have created 10 check boxes (and thus, 10 columns of Yes/No data in the corresponding table).
Each company has at least 1 product checked off, and up to all 10.
I would like to create a combo box that lists all 10 products, and upon selecting one, a list box then populates with the names of the companies (primary key) that use that specific product.
So, for example,
Company A buys CATS and DOGS from us Company B buys DOGS Company C buys CATS and ELEPHANTS Combo box options: CATS, DOGS, ELEPHANTS
If I choose DOGS, then a list box gets populated with:
Company A Company B
and when I click either of these, the record should be brought up for the respective company.
All of this should take place in the header of the form, while the form itself can be updated based on search selections.
I am trying to put together a form where employees will be entering maintenance information into my database. One of the requirements for this data is that when they perform repair work on an asset, they have to list a problem, cause and remedy. These are codes that are specific to each asset.
The closest thing I can think of to what I am trying to acheive is the selectors on car search websites. You select a MAKE, and then the MODEL list is narrowed down based on that, then you pick the TRIM, which is narrowed down based on the model selection. I have an Excel spreadsheet of the Assets(Failure Class), Problems, Causes, and Remedies...I'm just not sure how to put this into Access to get the desired output. I have attached a sample of the Excel spreadsheet for illustration.
I believe I'm going to have to put each of the columns in a seperate table and use relationships..but I'm not sure about that.
I have three large source tables imported into my database. I have created queries to retrieve relevant values from fields in each source table which feeds into my form. Each field on my form that is connected to the relevant query is a lookup field. For example, one field called "Supplier_Name" another called "Supplier_Code" and a third called "Route_Number".
Needless to say each of my lookup fields are very long. I am trying to filter my search based upon the selection from the previous Lookup field. How I can filter a lookup field's value based upon the previous lookup field selection? Each Supplier has a code and assign route(s) and I have already established these relationships.
I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts 2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators 3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports 5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource 8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry 9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory 10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators 12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I'm not a programmer, I am infact a 17 year old College Student from the United Kingdom - Studying ICT!
For my major project I have to design, build and test a camera loans system for my photography department. Except, I am having problems with Combo box lookups. It's been over 6 months since I learnt this, and it's all a blank. Something as simple as this is simply not working...
e.g. in the Studentloans table, I wish to enter the Student ID number from the student ID card inside the combo box, and hit enter so that it brings up the relevant specific loans of that student. I enter the id, hit enter and the student name, class etc does not change. Why? The same goes for my Camera Maintenance Table, Camera + Maintenance tables are combined to a CAMERAMAINTENANCE TABLE - Therefore I wish to enter the Camera ID number so that if i hit enter, it brings up the relevant service histories of that specific camera...
The relationships are all ok, the fields for Student ID are lookup, etc.
I don't understand. It's driving me insane. I need help with this, I'm struggling so much.
tbl_Retainer tbl_Retainer_Grant_Funding tbl_Retainer has the field, Retainer_ID
And tbl_Retainer_Grant_Funding has the fields, Retainer_ID (a lookup field from tbl_Retainer) Agreement_Num (a lookup field from tbl_Grant)
I have a form based off of a query(not sure if that matters), that uses that tables, tbl_Assignment and tbl_Assignment_Grant_Funding. These tables have the above fields as lookup fields.
So...what happens is, if an Assignment has a Retainer, I want the Agreement_Num box to show only the Agreement_Num's associated with that Retainer, otherwise just show all the Agreement Num's.
In my form, I have Retainer_ID with the row source, SELECT tbl_RETAINER.Retainer_ID FROM tbl_RETAINER;
And Agreement_Num with the row source, SELECT [tbl_GRANT].Grant_ID, [tbl_GRANT].Agreement_Num FROM tbl_GRANT ORDER BY [Agreement_Num];
In my AfterUpdate event for Retainer_ID I have,
Private Sub Retainer_ID_AfterUpdate() Dim strSql As String strSql = "SELECT [Retainer_ID]," & _ "[Agreement_Num]," & _ "FROM tbl_RETAINER_GRANT_FUNDING" & _ "WHERE [Retainer_ID] = " & Me.Retainer_ID.Value
Me.Agreement_Num.RowSource = strSql Me.Agreement_Num.Requery End Sub
When I am in my form and choose a Retainer ID, the Agreement_Num box goes blank, and there are no choices to choose from. I am wondering if this is because the Agreement_Num's are sourced from tbl_Grant and not from tbl_Retainer_Grant_Funding.
I have a form with 15 unbound text boxes (daily temperatures) and what I am trying to do after entering the temperatures into the text boxes the user clicks an add button which will add 15 new records into the temperature table
I have been working with a simple Dlookup to return a value based on the data held in a specific field. I am now trying to develop this further and need some help.
I have a query "QryMainForm" that brings together fields from 2 tables "TblFS" (fields: Ref, score 1, score 2) and "TblFamily" (fields: Familyname). the query adds the values in Score 1 and Score 2 and saves the value as "points".
Seperatly from this i have a table "Tbllevels" which contains the fields Score, Operational, Admin, Technical. with the points scored relating to a value within each field. What i need to do is run the lookup based on the both "points" and Familyname fields contained in the query.
So someone who scores 300 points could be assigned to the technical or operational group (this is done manually). What i need the lookup to do is to return the level based on the points and Familyname fields located on "qrymainform"
Custom Autonumber based on lookup. I am creating an access database where autonumbers to be work.
I have a table with Segment Name my main table will lookup the values of segment table.
Based on the Segment I choose Autonumber has to be created
My main table to house each record (tbl_import) has the following fields:
ID Segment Port MOT TOTAL CIF
Child table - Segment contains Development Deployment
Testing
So based on segment field which I choose
Development autonumber has to set DEV-1001 and Deployment has to set DEP-2001, TEST-3001
My thought is if there a way to code the Segment field to lookup the segment what I choose based on the Autonumber series starts (similar to a vlookup in excel), then concatenate the DEV in the Record ID field.
Hi, not sure if this is possible or the most economical approach but here goes:
I have a lookup table (tblHolidays) with a list of holiday dates (fieldname "HolidayDate") in it.
I need an update query that can check all "StartDate" values on a table called "tblMasterLog" and where this date matches the ones on "tblHolidays", will add 1 day to the "StartDate" and then keep repeating until there are no more dates to change.
I have two tables, "Membership" and "Class." The Class table has a class ID, class name, and cost of the class.
In the Membership table, I have a field to accept a class ID that is entered by a user. I also have a column called Tuition. When the user enters a classID in the Membership table, I would like the dollar amount associated with that classID to automatically appear in the field called Tuition in the Membership table.
I tried the LOOKUP data type and calculated fields, but no luck. I know that DLOOKUP can be used on forms, but I don't see how it can be used directly with tables.
Apologies - i'm a "rookie" at Access - but i have searched for a while now on the site for the answer to my question... I'm sure there is a simple solution somwhere here but i cant find it!
I am putting togther an venue database - with all the usual fields: Name, Address, Capacity etc... of which i have set up YES/NO, Free Text and Number fields. No problem!
I have also set up various lookup lists which work fine, apart form the venue "Suitability" lookup list.
The choices are:
Corporate Private Drinks Reception Dry Hire Music Event Conference
Now, some venues may be suitable for SEVERAL of these uses - so how do i select multiple uses from this list as opposed to just one?
Many thanks in advance for your help - im learning fast! :rolleyes:
I want the lookup to be performed with criteria based off of the same row that record being selected is on.
I wrote typed out the Columns and rows that my queries return, and attached a screenshot as well.
You enter your phone number which provides you with an indexed location. Based off of that location only certain products are available and I want them to be filtered accordingly. I have it working to some extent, here is an example below:
Is there a way I can make the lookup run off of the location specific to the current row that I am working on?
P.S. Here is a copy of the SQL statement I'm using right now.
SELECT DISTINCTROW [DSL Product CLLI's].CLLI, [DSL Product CLLI's].Speed, [DSL Product CLLI's].CLLI FROM [DSL Product CLLI's], [Copy Of Copy Of Customer NPA-NXX's - ADSL - Data - Internet] WHERE ((([DSL Product CLLI's].CLLI) In (SELECT DISTINCTROW [Location] FROM [Copy Of Copy Of Customer NPA-NXX's - ADSL - Data - Internet] WHERE [Copy Of Copy Of Customer NPA-NXX's - ADSL - Data - Internet].[Location]=[DSL Product CLLI's].[CLLI])));
Which Returns the Following in my lookup field for Products Available.
I am attempting to develop a DB to track hardware assets, e.g., servers, switches, storage devices, etc... I am at the very beginning of the development/design process. I haven't gone beyond the paper stage yet. I am trying to figure out how I would set up the main Asset table so that when I put in a particular vendor, the model field will list models only for that specific vendor. i.e., when I put in IBM in the Vendor field I will only see IBM models in a drop down for the Vendor_Model field.
I'm pretty sure this will involve a Lookup field. But, how do I restrict the lookup of models. Would that be with a query?
I am designing a database for a quarry for maintenance of their machines. I have a table that has a full list of all the parts on the machines, and a multiple value lookup field that says what machines said parts are used on. I am trying to have these values translate to another table, so I can then insert a field to say how many of each part are used on the respective machine, to display on an information form for each machine.
I would also like this table to update if the relevant information is updated, for example if a new machine is input, then have the table update to reflect what parts are used on it (an After Update function?) I have made a query that gives me the read out I want (attached) but just cannot figure out how to get that into a table so I can add the extra information.
I have a query that based on certain codes in a record does multiple joins to pull in other codes... I want the query (based on these pulled in codes) to do a lookup in another table to extract 1 field that has a description...
Can I do this in one query??? Do I need to do a Make Table to first pull in the codes and then do a second query with a DLookup based on those fields???
I have a member table and donation table. For a donation, I'd like to lookup the last and first names from the member table. I set the lookup for the last name and can see bothe first and last names in the drop down list. When I pick, I get the last name in the DonationT but how to I pick up the first name? That is, how do I fill DonorFirstName in DonationT from the FirstName field in the MemberT?
I want to use VBA to hide columns in a subform based on what is checked in a multi value look up field.
I am creating this DB for use with sharepoint as a web database, which is why I am using the lookup field to begin with. There will be a client DB to use with some VBA code
So what I have is a lookup field with tests "Test 1, Test 2, etc" on form sample.
There is a subform called results, and I want to hide certain columns based on what tests are performed.
I tried using an If Then statement (code is being run on subform load)
If Me.Parent.fieldTest = "Test 1" Then Me.Test1Col.ColumnHidden = False Else Me.Test1Col.ColumnHidden = True
That is basically the code I was trying to use. I am getting an error 13, which I assume is because fieldTest can not = something since it is a multi value look up field.
Is there anyway to have a single field in a table which is populated via the use of a lookup onto another table, but allowing multiple value selection out of the lookup table and populating those into the field...
For example
Table 1 is customer details Table 1 field 3 = areas of interest
Table 1 field 3 is populated via a lookup into Table 2 interests
Table 2 has 4 records
Sport Household Motoring Family
I want to be able to select 1 or more of the Table 2 values and populate them into Table 1 Field 3....
