Forms :: List Boxes - Single Column Versus Multi Column
Apr 3, 2013How do I select the first column of a multi-column list box (called "List1") for a query.
A single column list box works fine.
Code:
SELECT Tble_Employee.Emp_No, [forms]![attendee_form]![list1] AS SelectedCourse
FROM Tble_Employee;
Multi-column List Box
Apr 19, 2006Hi there,
I'm sure I'm not being dim, but I really can't figure how to do this.
I have a list box with two columns. One column (bound) is a name, the other is a unique ID. I need to transfer both the Name and the ID to a second list box (again, two columns).
I can get it to do this with single selections, but not multiple ones, and this is what I need.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Multi-column Combo Box
Sep 15, 2005I have a combo box with 5 columns. When I click it I want to display columns 1 to 4, together with the headings. But after making my selection, I want column 5 stored in the field.
How can I do that? Currently it is storing column 1.
Thanks,
Dave
Multi-column List Box
Oct 1, 2004I have a list box derived from a two column SQL select. When I try to use the user selected element I only get the first column data value.
In debugging I have tried ...
Ret = MsgBox(Me.List6.Value, vbOKCancel)
and...
Ret = MsgBox([Forms]![MeetingStatus]![List6], vbOKCancel)
Both of which return the selected row, first column value only.
I can find no help on how to return the content of the second column or the selection as a whole.
Multi Column Report
Feb 15, 2005I have a reporting need that I believe (hope) is not unique
My customer needs to print out information about a customer that is compused of information specific to the customer (keyed on customer ID) and sets of information about their purchases in different categories (food, cars, clothes and pets). Each of these categories has different identifying characteristics. (These are represented by subReports on the report).
No problem printing out the report looking like this
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer Name - Mike Lester
Custoner Address - 101 Main St.,
AnyTown,CO 11111
Food
Beets 10 lbs $1.25 Green
Lettuce 1 lbs $ .78 Green
Bananas 20 lbs $ .33 Yellow
Cars
Mustang 1966 $23,888
VW 1955 $222
VW 2002 $23,000
Cadillac 2004 $44,999

Shirts 9
Socks 11
Pants 5
Hats 1
Pets
Goldfish 2 Fish
Beagle 1 Dog
Great Dane 3 Dog
Cocateil 2 Bird
Macaw 1 Bird
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is the customer wants the report to use the entire page. I tried positioning the subReports in two columns (left and right) but the problem is based on the number of items in each subReport the report ends up looking dumb and wasting paper (also it doesn't look very professional)
What I want to happen is the report to print as many subReports as it can on the left column (without leaving any hanging orphans) then start printing then next subreport at the beginning of the right column. See example below: (Sorry about the ~ Symbol being used to represent a space, for some reason the text box wouldn't save my formatting)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is probably the longest question of the day. Does anyone have any
ideas or examples. I am hoping that this doesn't involve any massive VBA
or using Word. There are 200 other reports, and the customer doesn't currently use Word.
The entire application is 100% Access.

View 10 Replies View RelatedFormatting Date In Multi-Column Combo Box
Apr 14, 2015I have combo boxes that contain attorney names and phone numbers. The attorney name is what is filled into the field when a selection is made from the combo box into the form. The phone number is just there for the occasions that the person managing the data in the database needs to call that attorney. Just a quicker way instead of having to go to another form to find the phone number. I created a query to combine the first and last name to one field (FullName) and this is where the combo box gets it's info.
When I run the query, the phone number is shown formatted as I want it to ((###)###-####), but in the combo box in the form, the phone number has no format to it. What I need to do to get the phone number to show up formatted in the combo box list?
Filter Using Multiple / Multi-Column List Box
Sep 17, 2012I'm not familiar with listbox yet and i want to filter my form using it.
I have two separate listboxes which display "category" & "type" data from the same table.
Here is the situation i wanted for my listbox.
1. Select one data from "category" listbox.
2. Then it will automatically filter data from "type" listbox or it will list all related "type" data corresponding to "category" data.
3. Then select one data from "type" listbox and it will filter all related data on the form/sub-form.
Is it possible to do that way? Can i do it on multicolumn listbox instead of using 2 listbox?
Multi-Column Combo-box Won't Bresk Down In Text Boxes
Aug 16, 2005My form's 10 column combo-box (based on a query) won't break into text cells. Some of the columns contain numbers, some test, some phone #s. All columns show when I click the Combo-box in Form View. Access Help File said to put:
=Forms!Customers!CompanyName.Column(1) in the ControlSource for the text cell. Tried that and was returned #Name? for any of the fields in which I tried it.
My expression was:
=frmSpartanStudentBehaviorLog!Last_FirstUC.Column (3)
The other properties in combo-box are set correctly: ColumnCount=10, Column Widths are correct.
I also tried the expression:
=Last_FirstUC.Column(2) but got the same result #Name?
I'm baffled. As a very new user, I'll appreciate any assistance. Thanks.
Modules & VBA :: Get Other Than Bound Column From Multi-select Listbox
Feb 6, 2015I have two listboxes. One for Activities and the other for Organizations.
I set the Org listbox to be multi-select so I could run a loop on that listbox to join multiple Orgs to a single Activity. That part works well.
To do so, I am using the bound column (which is the pkey value) from the multi select listbox, and on the single select listbox I'm using the ListboxName.value to gather the pkey for the "1" side of this 1:Many series of inserts.
Now... I want to use one of the other-than-bound-column value from the multi-select listbox, but I don't know how. When setting a value I only know of the use of :
Code:
ListBoxOrganizations.ItemData(varItem)
and I don't know how to do the equivalent of
Code:
ListBoxOrganizations.ItemData(varItem's column(2).value)
yes, I just made that up, but I hope you get the point. Meaning, as the loop cruises the ItemsSelected on the multiselect I'd like to use other than the bound column when setting variables.
I've tried using the column property to then cruise to the proper record in the listbox, e.g. :
[code]
txtCollaborationDesc = "Collaborate " & ListBoxOrganizations.Column(2, varItem) & " with " & listboxActivities.Column(2)
[code]
But this seems to return the column(2) value of the first record loaded into the list box, as if the varItem piece is being ignored. I believe the loop is working properly, as when the inserts are happening correctly with the bound column of the multi-select list is correctly present as an Fkey in the resulting child records.
I just can't get any other column's value for some reason.
MS Access 2010 and this is an accdb.
Referring To Bound Column In Multi Select Listbox
Dec 12, 2012So I have a list box that lists organizations. I recently changed the list box type to extended multi select. On the same form, I have a button that opens a new form where the user can input contacts for each organization. When the list box was not multi select, the expression [forms]![media]!
[List30] made the default value of one of the fields in my contact form the bound column from the selection in the list box. However, now that the list box is multi select, the contact input form does not seem to be able to get the value from the bound column in the list box. When multi select is turned on, is the bound column stored differently.
To even get the contact input button to work, I had to change the code from:
Private Sub Command40_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command40_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Contactsqry"
stLinkCriteria = "[Organization ID]=" & Me.List30

For example : If I have parts that I purchase and some of them get rejected I want to inform someone of those parts, these parts could be on order numbers, 1,2,8,10 ....
I cannot just search on rejected because some parts could have been reject say 2 weeks ago but new ones have not arrived yet so the flag "rejected" is still showing ....
Is it possible to set the criteria that when asked for the order number/s you could type in ,1,2,8,10 ....

The information I require in the datasheet is a unique stock code (one occurrence of each stock code) with the most recent unit price based on the last delivery date for each product. The linked tables contain many Purchase Orders for the same stock codes over a time period of a number of years where the unit price has varied.

Sep 7, 2007I have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out how to make this work.
I have three tables.
tblIntakeMain
[IntakeMainID]
tblIncidentDetails
[IncidentdeatailsID]
tblPersonnel
[PersonnelID]
On the main form I use subforms to link tblIncidentDetails and tblPersonnel to tblIntakeMain. Both subforms can, and do, have many entries. This all works fine. What is not working is the search form I am using.
I am using Gromits most excellent Search Form. The problem is when I create a query, qSearch, to bring together the three tables I get a multiple records which makes the searches very confusing and near useless. Is there anyway around this? Is there something I am missing? Is there another search method I could use that would work in a similar way as Gromits? Please help before the Prozac runs out and I lose my mind--what little it left.
Multi-table, Multi-criteria: Avoid Repeating Records
Apr 10, 2008Hi everyone. Apologies if this has come up before, but the search terms I've tried here and on google keep turning up the wrong information.
At work I manage a large database with many tables. It stores data for participants in a research study. Each table stores the data for a different test, so one participant may have multiple records. Primary keys for these tables are defined by a combination of the participant and date of test fields. (Everything is dependent upon a table that stores the static info for participants, so the database is normalized.)
I want to be able to make a table that lists target participants and dates, and then create a query that looks at this table and pulls all the available data from various tables for those individuals that was recorded within one year of the target dates.
I've successfully made queries that meet these criteria while pulling data from only one table. The problem I'm having is that when I try to pull from multiple tables, each with it's own date field that needs to be used as a criterion, I end up excluding almost all the data, because most of the target participants do not have all the requested data within the target dates.
I've tried being inclusive with my criteria (using ORs), but then I end up with tons of data that I don't want and I need to filter through it, which defeats the purpose of the query.
Any advice on handling this issue, or do I basically just need to create a separate query for each table?
I'm sorry if this is too vague, but it's illegal for me to upload any of my own dataset. I could probably come up with an example if it's helpful, though.
Thanks!
Problem With A Multi-TAB Form
Oct 12, 2006Hi all,
I have a form with three tabs.
Problem is that when user opens the form - it navigates to the first tab BUT navigates so far down that user cannot see the tab headings.
Although all tabs first item is as close to top as possible.
BTW - last two tabs are based on subforms.
Cheers
Multi-Select Form
Nov 30, 2005I would like to create a form that my users can select multiple check boxes from and have only those records that meet the criteria come up in a search.
See attachment for a look at the form.
I need to be able to let the user have the ability to put in a name and then select any of the check boxes and then click on a search button that will execute a query that will bring up the results.
Any help with code or at least a point in the right direction would be nice.
Thanks,

Multi Table Form
May 24, 2006Hi, I'm currently creating a performance review database for my team and I'm having a few issues.
I was wondering if there is any way other than making a multi table query to have multiple tables linked to a form. The reason for this is because the performance review has 5 sections and I made a table for each section and would like data entered into the form to be entered into those tables.
What I first tried was making a multi table query with all the fields from all 5 tables. Then when I am done updating the values in the form to that 1 table with all the fields I run an append query to populate the data into all the other tables. The issue with this way is it's a manual task and with autonumber on my tables I have to delete all the values from the other tables and then run the append else I have duplicates from when the data was entered last time. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated.
Multi-user Form
Jan 13, 2005I have a form "log_file" that I am going to be placing a nework. All I have done is create a new DB, create a table, and create a form. Now I want to make it so users open up the DB file and only see the form and cannot access/edit the table. Basically, It is okay if they go back and forth through the records and change those, but I don't want them to be able to edit the form either.
I'm just not sure where to go from here. If there is more info I should provide please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Multi Criteria Form Search?
Aug 17, 2007Hi all:)
Has anyone ever come across an example of a form where you can carry out a multi criteria search which not only displays the results on a subform but when you select an item from that subform the details can be displayed in text boxes etc on the main form.
I have tediously searched this forum and the web but all search examples only display on a subform only, is it even possible if so has anyone found any examples or how would I go about achieving this
Thanks Jackie
Multi-table Form Problem
Jun 16, 2005I'm creating a database that contains some information spread out over multiple tables. In order to enter information into the database there are a couple forms that the user can access to enter all the information, and these data will be placed in the appropriate tables. I am also creating a form that will be used for data-viewing and simple editting purposes. This form will contain data from many different tables and viewed all together in the same form.
I created this second, more complicated form (more complicated because it contains more tables all viewed on the same form) and editting and adding new data doesn't work. It won't let me type in the fields. I've narrowed down the problem to the combination of three tables and I will explain the nature of the relationships of these tables.
First of all, I have a table the contains general person information. These needed to be broken down in to sub-groups, employee and contract. Each of these two sub-groups of people has their own specific fields that need to be entered, so I created three tables. The first table, person, has general person fields. The other two tables, employee and contract, contain fields that are specific to their person type and a foriegn key referencing the associated person information.
My problem is that, on the more complicated form, I wanted to put all the fields related to that entry. So a contract person would have all the fields filled in for the general person, the fields for contract person would be filled in, and then the fields for employee would be blank. Now, I'm sure there is a better way to do this (for example gray out the employee fields when a contract person is viewed, or hide fields for employee etc.) but I'm new at VB and that seemed more complicated.
If anyone has any ideas on what the problem might, or how I could resolve this, that would be amazing. Thanks in advance

Using Tab Control In A Multi-page Form
Aug 24, 2006Hi -
I have a form that is multi-page. On the third page of that form, I tried to set up a tab control that allows me to natvigate among three subforms. The problem is that the moment I click a tab (which is on the third page of the multi-page form), the form automatically jumps back to the first page.
Is it possible I can fix it so that when I use the tab control on the third page on a multi-page form, I will not get bounced back to the first page? Although this sounds simple, I cannot figure it out.
Thanks

Multi-Search Form & Subform
Dec 3, 2006I have one main table. There are about 5 main fields that my users seach often. Usually they just open the table and filter. I do not like that.
I want to build a form that has the 5 main fields available as search fields.
Name
SS
Company
Date
COC
are the fields most often searched for. Can I make a form that will open with a blank subform on the bottom and these 5 fields empty across the top. Once a user enters into one of the fields and hits enter it will bring up the those records?
Thanks.
