I am using combo box to filter records from a form. The data source for the form is from a query.
I use the combo box within the query to filter the data, I would like the form to refresh/ run the query again every time a new selection is made from the combo box.
I have seen a few articles here and there on using a combo box to filter records in a sub-form and to filter records in another combo box, but I am not getting anywhere. I hope someone can belp
Exercise 1
For this exercise, I have the following tables:
tblClients containing client names
tblProjects containing some project details
I want to set up a simple form, so that the user can select a client name from a combo box on the main form which filters the project detail records in the Projects sub-form.
Once the user enters project details, I want this info as well as the selected ClientID to be fed back to tblProjects.
Exercise 2
I have the following tables:
tblProjects as above
tblWorkstream containiig names of workstreams and some other details.
Every project has one or more workstreams
I have a form where users will enter hours worked on each workstream. They will first select Project from a combo box on the main form. This should then filter records to be displayed in the Workstream Combo box, before they can then enter hours.
Please let me know if you need me to explain any part of this better.
Thanks in advance.
ps. I am a novice, so I'm hoping to do the above using default MS stuff, not with complex programming!!!
Thanks
I want to filter the records in a combo box (cboSupplier) using the In() function.
On the form I have an unbound control called "intFilter". It contains the following string: 23, 58
The SQL statement for the combo box is
Code:
SELECT SupplierID, SupplierName
FROM tblSupplier
ORDER BY SupplierName;
In the criteria for field SupplierId I want to use the In() function so that the only records returned by the combo box are those in "intFilter". I have tried
Code:
In (Forms![frmSupplierReport]![intFilter]
but this does not work.
If I put: In (23, 58) in the criteria it works, but I cannot hard code it because the string in "intFilter" will change on the fly!
How would I achieve this?
I Have 2 combo box on a form: Product_Type (6 values) and Product_Name (30 values and each belongs to a type), I want to narrow down the Product_Name to related Product_type whenever I select a type in the first field. Is there anyway to do this?
View 2 Replies View Relatedvba code for filtering the records of the form made out of a table. The form contains combos that contain the lists of unique records in several colomns of the source tale. So i need to filter the records of the form using the combination of the values of that combos. But can't even apply a single filter using this code:
Me.Filter = "Business = " & list59.Value
Me.FilterOn = True
"Business" is the name of the column in the source table, and the "list59" is the name of the combo which contains the unique records of the "Business"
the code takes place as a button "apply" is pressed
I'm trying to hash two scripts I've found into 1 functioning filter, however I'm still relatively new to vba and can't figure out how to get this working.
I'm trying to use Allen Browne's Search Criteria:
with another snippete of code I found here:
Code:
'Purpose: This module illustrates how to create a search form, _
where the user can enter as many or few criteria as they wish, _
and results are shown one per line.
[Code]....
It's the date part I'm having trouble with, the rest of the search criteria work fine without the date, but I can't get it working when I try to modify and merge the date sections of each code.
Also I'm using a listbox for the "Yesterday";"Last 4 days";"Last 9 days" and not a combo box.
How can I create a "Filter Button" on a form and filter my records? I create a textbox on a form and a filter button on the right. Then I click the filter futton, the filter function will search/match the content in the box through the datasheet. And then the results of the filtering will be pop up on the split form datasheet.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a combo box located on one of my forms, that is getting its information from a field in a table.This table has all its records displayed in a subform. I would like the combo box to basically requery the subform to only show records where the name matches what is in the combo box.
It is basically a list of customers, so if I was to select Person1 in the combo box, I would only want to see records for Person1 in the subform.I would also need a way of clearing the search results, in order to get the subform to display all records again.
this is a re-post - can anyone help? I think this is an easy one for the experts out there!
I have a form called frmTshtExp which is bound to a query called qryTshtExpenses. Most of the fileds in the form are combos and text boxes bound to the fields in the queries.
However, the first combo is unbound. It is called cboProjectSelect and it filters the second combo called cboWorkstreamExp. This is done using a query called qryTshtWorkstreamExp which has workstreamID, workstream and projectID as fields.
The filter works fine. The trouble is that selecting a project from the first combo filters workstreams from the second combo for ALL records that are entered. In other words, no matter how many rows are entered in the datasheet on the form, they all have to have a workstream belonging to just ONE project. I want to be able to enter different workstreams belonging to DIFFERENT projects on each row.
I hope you can help. I've put in a reduced version of my db in the following location:
http://uk.f2.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com...rum.zip&.src=bc
unfortunately, I didn't know how to disable the securities I've set up, so you need to log use the shortcut (after modifying the target location in it's properties) and use the word "forum" as username and password.
Thanks in advance

I am trying to edit the below code to use 'Form_Select_Batch_Number_Form.Combo9.Value' as the combobox value to filter the records in 'Form_ Remitter_DB_Entry_Form'. I am trying to get the filtering to occur when a button on Form_Select_Batch_Number is selected. Below is my attempt to create the button to accomplish this but it is not functional and needs some work.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Command0_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Blank Form2", windowmode:=acDialog
Dim MyValue As String

i have a combo box, which looks up a list of school names from my main table. The user selects the desired school, then clicks the button underneath, which opens a report. What i want the report to show is the next 31 (that is how many fit on one page) schools AFTER the school that the user selects - the underlying query for the report has them in alphabetical order. There are ~250 schools in the list.Even if i can get it just to display the records after the selected one on the form, that would be fine.
View 4 Replies View Related I have a table with the following 5 fields. (Service Type), (Valve Name),(Size),(Rating),(Description).
I want to do two thing:
First: I want to select the required information from the first 4 fields using combo boxes and get the last field (description) based on the selected 4 fields. In other words, i want the record to be filtered using first 4 fields to give me the last field info.
Second: I want to store the filtered record (all 5 fields) in another table.
I am building a tracking database where we would be able to track information which field are null data and report them to our Administration to fill the null data. For this I have created a form name "Search" and I have a combo box control on that form which is bound to "Table = employee" and its ROW SOURCE TYPE="Field List", I would like to able to query records where the selected value in this combo box is null through out the table.
For example if I select "Telephone" from this combo box dropdown, I would like the query to show all the records where the "Telephone" is null, how to set the criteria in query to take the combo box value as "Field Name" and then compare it with the Field/Column in the table and show the null values.
I have some code in which I enter a startdate and a enddate into textbox's and a combo box where I enter a client name when I run the code it will show all record's generated with in the date range and same client name set in the combo box "cboclient" what I would like to be able to do is have another combo box call cboclient2 which will allow me to enter another client name so then when the report opens it will show me with in the date range set in startdate and enddate and filter the client field by cboclient and cboclient2 so for e.g.
startdate
01/01/14
enddate
11/01/14
cboclient
peter
cboclient2
steve
Run code show all record in date range and with client name peter and steve

I have a set of combo filters that filter one after the other as follows -
If Not IsNull(Me.NameFilterBox) Then
If Me.Form.Filter="" Then
Me.Form.Filter="Name ='" & Me.NameFilterBox & "'"
Else
Me.Form.Filter = Me.Form.Filter & " and Name = '" & Me.NameFilterBox & "'"
[Code] .....
and the I use the
Me!Form.Filter = Me!Form.Filter & " and Name = '" & Me!cboOPOwner.Text & "'"
to filter down so the user can work with what they filter, my question is how can I add on a filter that filters between dates? and second I was hoping that I could program the filters so that they could be changed individually/randomly as to filtering one after the other and then clearing to restart the filtering again ...
I have a main form with multiple combo boxes that filter a subform datasheet. In my main form combo box [PR_Filter] I added a selection titled "<Blanks>". When I select "<Blanks>", I want it to filter my subform field [PR] for NULL values. If I select anything else I want it to filter on that selection. I cannot get the NULL filter to work.
Here is the code that I have (Red is the field I need the NULL values):
Private Function PurchaseFilter()
Dim strFilter As String
Dim bFilter As Boolean
bFilter = False
strFilter = ""

I currently have a combo box that filters form based on specialist (an employee using the system), and this works fine:
Private Sub FilterSpecialist_AfterUpdate()
Me.Filter = "SpecialistAssigned = '" & Me.FilterSpecialist & "'"
Me.FilterOn = True
End Sub
When Specialist Assigned name is selected, it only shows their cases (records of the form that are assigned to them).
However, now I'm trying to also filter based on only the selected Specialists Open cases. I have a combo box at the bottom of the form that saves whether the Case is Open or Closed, (creatively) called CaseOpenClosed:
Private Sub FilterSpecialist_AfterUpdate()
Me.Filter = ("SpecialistAssigned = '" & Me.FilterSpecialist & "'" And CaseOpenClosed = "Open")
Me.FilterOn = True
End Sub
I've tried this based on me searching the forum but it doesnt filter at all anymore, and no error either. I've tried other ways but get errors. What is wrong with this?
My goal is to use a combo box on a nav pane to filter the following 5 nav panes with data sheet views on them. The combo shows 'component' and should filter each datasheet to only show records with the same 'component' selected in its respective component column.
What I'm currently dealing with is said component combo disappearing upon nav change, and I can't get it to filter the datasheet..but that is likely due to the fact that I cant get it to hold value on page switch.
I have a form wich includes listbox of employees. When I click on them, it shows his or her data (date of birth,address,etc...). For every employee there are also three diferent checkboxes - if he is regularly employed, temporaly employed or student.So now what I need is to filter listbox of employees - only student or only regular or only temporar or all.I was wondering if I can do that with combobox, but I really dont know how. I am prety new to VBA.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI am importing about 1.5 million records from a .txt file into an Access database. I have the code that splits the records and adds them to the database. However, the database has a 'specialty' table that lists certain specialty codes. The incoming record has a field that is a specialty code. Any way to search the 'specialty' table for the code that is coming in on the record to be added, and then, if the record 'code' is not found, skip it, and if it is found, add it to the database. There are about 70 codes in the 'specialty' table.

I have a scenario that I tried on an Excel forum but didn't have much luck. Conditions for my assignment:
1) Long description short, I have to randomly select 2 records for each client each month.
2) The catch is that these records have to be different states until the process is done for all 50 states, so the process isn't done for 4 years and 2 months (50 months).
I attached a sample database.
I have a form that has many fields with the same part number but with a different PO number

Say part number I po number 15
At present my combo box only will select one of these IE THE part number ...

I have 3 tables:
Task table---*Task ID, Task(txt), Start(date/Time), finish(date/Time)
Tasking table---*TaskingID, TaskID, EmployeeID
employee table---*EmployeeID, Name(txt)
The employee and task table are joined to the tasking table. This is so i can have a task which has many employees and an employee with many tasks. What i'm try to do is create a form which starts a task with a subform to add employees, but with combo box which filters employees with tasks which over-lap the task in focus(start and finish fields) but still showing employees which do not yet have any tasks. the start and finish fields are hh:nn dd/mm/yy.
If anybody can help i would be very grateful

I have a reservation form and I want to tick a checkbox that will filter the form based on what is in the "Reservation Status" combo box.When the checkbox is ticked, the code would remove all records that have "Complete" as a status in the "Reservation Status" combo box.

Code:
Private Sub chkHideComplete_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
If Me.chkHideComplete = True Then
Me.filter = "[ReservationStatus] = 1"
Me.FilterOn = True
