List Box Control With Multiple Values Allowed
Jun 8, 2014
I have a Table with a short text field, field size: 20. The row source has been set up ie "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", etc. Allow multiple values IS allowed.Once I drop a control on a form (list box) to represent the aforementioned field, I realize I can put a checkmark in many items. Why? I add up the total length of the items text at 40-50 characters, yet the field size is only 20. To check my sanity, I open the Table in Datasheet view and lo, I can see all the Items spelled out, in clear violation of field size constraints

Hi all,
I was thinking/hoping of using a list box on my form to store multiple values, I haven't been able to find a way of storing any value so far so not sure how easy it will be?
How can this be achieved or is it just easier to use several check boxes (approx 8)
Thanks

I hope the title actually conveys what I'd like to do.
I want to assign records on a subform to a group header on a form. For example, I have groups A, B, C, and D and I want the records on a subform to be assigned to groups A, B, and D. (The number of groups and their names will change so I can't simply use an "A," "B," "C" option box.) My idea is to have a Multi-Select List Box on the main form and choose all the groups to which the records on the subform need to belong. So I'd select the groups, enter the records on the subform, then create a another record on the master form and assign records to another group.
Is it possible to make this happen without a lot of programming?

I am trying to use a list-control on a form to let the user select multiple values. I have understood that this requires some VBA-code to step through the selections in the list, since the "multivalue-selection" is set to "Extended".
When I try to execute the code I have (found and have tried to adjust), then I get the error message "Object required". The "ListCount"-paramater always only results in a ZERO-value, when i step through the code:
Function cmdOpenQuery_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenQuery_Click
Dim MyDB As DAO.Database
Dim qdef As DAO.QueryDef
Dim i As Integer
Dim strSQL As String
[code]....

I'm trying to set the control source for a control on my report that describes the number of portions that goes into a box. Sometimes there is a specific number of portions per box and sometimes it's a range. When the number of units is specific, then it is entered into the MasterCaseMinUnits Field. If there is a range of units possible than the min is entered into MasterCaseMinUnits and the max is entered into the MasterCaseMaxUnits.
I want my report to look at the mastercasemaxunits, if it is blank it will only display what is in the MasterCaseMinUnits field. If there is a value in the masterCasemaxUnits field, then it will display the masterCaseMinUnits & " - " & MasterCaseMaxUnits. this is the code I'm Using:
Code:
=IIf(Nz([MasterCasemaxUnits],[MasterCaseMinUnits])=[MasterCaseMinUnits],[MasterCaseMinUnits],[MasterCaseMinUnits] & " - " & [MasterCaseMaxUnits])
When I run my report, the control displays: #Type!

I have a data base with names, email IDs, phone numbers of 5 types(example quality, security, IT,finance etc) of person from ten different project teams. I created a basic form for the end user to enter values and created fields for each of the person's name, email ID etc based on the personal type( liek quality, IT, finance etc) on each team. The background table contains records of almost 200 people now.
All of these people will be trained for one task and some will be trained for multiple tasks. I know how to make the combo box allow multiple values/selections but, i cannot list out all 200 personal names in the combobox's rowsource/value list. Is it possible to combine all different name fields and list out all personal(of one team), so that the end user can just select multiple names for that team who have been trained and so on. i need to set the rowsource of the combobox to the values of all personal from one team so the team leader can just go select who has been trained and who has not.

I have a DB where you there's 5 tables all linked together by one project ID
tables below
Project , Staff, Asset, allowances, travel, mark up
What I can do is create a new project, then add records to each of the other tables on what different items I require,
i.e. I create a new project - called project one, in the project table I create a record stating, name, time scale, client and location, then I add different records to each of the other tables on what I require all linked to the same project ID. (probably not explained that too well)
Now I want to create a query that lists all the requirements one after the other this will make it easier to create reports and to calculate costing's.
At the moment I have made 5 different queries listing all the data, then have one report containing 5 sub reports to display the data, no this does work.

I have a form (frmHourEnter) with a combo box (Staff_ID) that lists staff members from a table (tblStaff). The table form (frmStaff) has a checkbox (ckEmploy) which indicates if a staff member is still employed. If the checkbox is checked how do I exclude that staff member from the combo box Staff_ID in the form frmHourEnter?

Hi All,
I'm in the process of creating a database that allows users to enter details into a form which includes a date range as start and end dates.
I have used the inbuilt Calendar Control 10.0 control to allow users to select the date. It is linked to two combo boxes [cmbStartDate] and [cmbEndDate] using the following code (this code is repeated for each combo box):
Code:
Private Sub cmbStartDate_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Set cmbOriginator = cmbStartDate
ocxCalendar.Visible = True
ocxCalendar.SetFocus
If Not IsNull(cmbStartDate) Then
ocxCalendar.Value = cmbStartDate.Value
Else
ocxCalendar.Value = Date
End If
End Sub
And..
Private Sub ocxCalendar_Click()
''Update the ComboBox with the value entered into the ComboBox
''Put the value back into the relevant ComboBox
cmbOriginator.Value = ocxCalendar.Value
''Hide the calendar
cmbOriginator.SetFocus
ocxCalendar.Visible = False
''Clear the variable
Set cmbOriginator = Nothing
End Sub
This all seems to work fine- however, when I try to write the selected dates to a table or use them in a query they are not recognised (the form obviously needs to be open whilst the query runs), but if I manually type dates into these combo boxes these dates are picked up fine.
This is beginning to drive me mad so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a very simple report - just one field.
I have a Form - "Cases". The button to open the report is on that form as are the values I want in the report.
I want to pull the value of Case Name and Case Number from the current form view and put them together in the single field on my report.
I can "almost" do it. Then VBA gives me a warning - it says that you can't assign a value to the control on my report.
Can anyone give me any ideas?
by the way:
I chose to make this an unbound report because I'm using SQL server as my back-end and my Access is an .adp file. SQL (so I was told by the programmers at work) can't pull in variable criteria from a form like Access Queries can. So this all has to be put in VBA.

Hello everyone, hopefully you can help before I go crazy. i have been working on this problem now for 3-4 days.
I have two forms (ID-Injury Choice) and (Treatments). In both forms I have the control (InjuryID). What I am trying to do is when I click a button on the ID-Injury Choice form, the InjuryID control value is automatically transferred to the Treatments form.
For the life of me I can figure out this simple act. Any help would be appreciated.

I have an option group which should display a value from a table if txtWords is null, but the result of a query if txtWords is not null. But though it shows the right results when I load the form, updating txtWords gives me all sorts of errors.
txtWords is in the main form, while the option group optLengthCat is in a subform (but inline).
Form_OnCurrent() event:
Code:
'Enable or disable the option group
If Len(Me.txtWords.Value & vbNullString) = 0 Then
Me.fsubLengthCat.Form!optLengthCat.Enabled = True
Else
Me.fsubLengthCat.Form!optLengthCat.Enabled = False
[Code] .....
When I put this into txtWords_AfterUpdate() it starts throwing up errors. Specifically, when I delete a subform record using SQL I get 'record was already deleted by another user'; I think I might have fixed the problem with Me.Requery, but it feels really inefficient.
Should I be using an unbound control? If yes, how do I make an unbound control that can edit or add new records?

Thanks for reading....
I have a query that returns a description value depending on the system code provided. One of my codes is '?M' and the ? is crapping out the whole query with Invalid Syntax.

Hello,
my problem looks so stupid, but I'm not able to solve it..
I've a form with two subforms in it and one of them is behaving in a strange way.
I open the form and type something in a text box in the form. Now I can type something else in a text box in the first subform but I'm not able to write anything in a textbox in subform n°2. It's textboxes (and also other controls like combo,...) look like they are not enabled (but they are enabled!!).
This subform has also got a Button, and it works (It deletes current record).
If I close the form and reopen it and I go straight to subform n°2, now I'm able to insert text in it's controls, but I'm not able to edit the controls in the main form and in subform n°1.
I hope my problem is clear
Please help!!
