Combo Box to select a record and populate fields in a form
I have created a form where I've created a combo box that has a drop down
list of box numbers where I want to be able to select one box number and have
it populate the other fields on the form.
On the combo box, I have entered the following for "after update", but it
doesn't allow me to select a record and doesn't populate any of the other
fields for that record.
Sub Combo74_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Me.Filter = "[BoxNo] = """ & Me.Combo74 & """"
Me.FilterOn = True
End Sub
What am I missing to make this work?

If, as the name implies, BoxNo is a number type field in its table, then you should have gotten an error message, in which case the code should not include the extra quote: Me.Filter = "[BoxNo] = " & Me.Combo74 But there is nothing in the code to populate anything. Are the text boxes that you want to populate using expressions like =Combo74.Column(n) (the common way to display the other values) or do you actually want to copy the values to bound text boxes so thery are saved back to the table (generally not a good idea). -- Marsh MVP [MS Access]

I do not >want to copy anything. Are we talking about the same thing? No, we were talking about two different things. Displaying the matching record's fields should be automatic as long as the controls are bound to fields in the form's record source table/query. Did you determine if the type of the BoxNo field is Text or Number? Remember that it is common for a combo box to display some text while it's value is a number used as a foreign key to a table. Compare the combo box's BoundColumn and ColumnWidths properties. Also check that the field in the combo box's RowSource table/query corresponds to the field index in the BoundColumn property. -- Marsh MVP [MS Access]

Field Type Change
I am trying to change a free text field to a drop down menu in my current database, that already has data entered for this particular field, in order to avoid multiple versions of the same organization that are just typed in differently. I'm assuming that I'll need to recode the different versions of an entry to make them uniform but after that, I'm unsure how to proceed so I won't lose any data. Is this possible or will I need to delete the field, recreate it as a drop down and then re-enter the data? Thanks in advance! Mike Thanks everyone for all the input and advice s...
Combo Box on Forms
Hi, I am using a combo box on a form that has several items w/ one being Other. If the user selects other I want them to be able to input what they want so that it will go into the table instead of just the "Other". I just am not really sure on how to do that. Can you help?

sent box
how do i get the emails in the sent box to show sent to instead of sent from? -- deb deb wrote: > how do i get the emails in the sent box to show sent to instead of sent from? Add/remove whatever columns you want. Right-click on the header row and select Field Chooser. i may have not explained myself too well i dont want to sort by the "to" column i want the header on the email to show "to" not "from" i think the problem might be that this is not the default sent file, its just a folder named "sent" its for my boss, he ha...
Combo Boxes
Someone sent me an Excel document where each of the cells in I1:I312 are combo boxes. When you click off of those cells, the down arrow disappears. The list for the combo boxes are cells AA1 and AB1 (AA1 is New and AB1 is Existing). Please explain how this was done? Also, can you please tell me if it is possible to make New and Existing autocorrect entries. So even though the choices are New and Existing, if you hit N, New appears, and if you hit E, Existing appears. Thanks!! It sounds like Data|Validation.

Table Design with Many Fields
I am using Access 2007. I have a table ACCOUNTS, with fields for account number, account description, and account balance. There are 12 other fields for various assertions/characteristics related to the accounts. Each account will have at least one of the 12 assertions apply, and many will have more than one. Each characteristic has its own field. I have a form that is used to enter all of the account information including combo boxes to select either high, mod, or low as the value for each of the other 12 fields. Next, I have to determine whether or not each account is sig...

Mail Merge Selecting ALL records in Excel instead just rows select
We have had this problem several times and I cannot find a solution. We will open a mail merge Word document that is connected an Excel Workbook. Periodically it will select ALL of the records even though we go through and select just the rows we want. No amount of filtering changes this problem. We have tried re-saving both the word and excel docs, removing the excel doc from the word doc and re-attaching. Help! I'm wondering if you're being misled by the dialog you get when you click Merge to New Document. Even when you have checked off specific records in the ...
Distribution form for Payables could be on main form
When I enter a payable transaction, it would be very handy to have the distribution form at he bottom of the screen just like the Miscellaneous Check in GP 9.0 Instead I need to go to the distribution screen, even if I only want to confirm that the accounts are correct. Many times I also want to put a memo on a distribution line. Along with this it would be handy to be able to set the default as to whether the extra lines on the distribution form are open or closed. I always have to open them to see the account discription and enter a memo. I did put this all on a macro key so I can g...

In Access database I want to compare the values in two fields in a form and then select the higher value, insert it into another field and then use in a formula. E.g.

Multiple Combo Boxes Highlighted
Hi, I have a problem with something in VB6. I have 4 combo boxes with individual names (not an array) located on an SSTab object. When I select another tab and then return to the tab these boxes are located on, each of them appears to be highlighted in blue. I add values to them only when loading the form so I'm at a loss as to why this happens ? Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jen.

HELP !! Combo box to feed other combo boxes
Hi, I have a form with a stock list. One field is [Dealer Allocated] so stock can be allocated to a specific dealer - this is a combo box (combo1) for single allocations. I now also want to be able to update this combo box for several records in bulk. I thought I would do this by having a second combo box in the footer of the form which the user selects the dealer from and then clicks a button which looks for first record without dealer allocated and updates the value of combo1 to the value of combo2. This would then be enclosed in a Do Loop for specified number of records. I can...
Edit Field
I often record a macro to repeat often-used keystrokes, but today I found a keystroke that couldn't be recorded. I use Tools, Macros, Record a new Macro and assign it to a toolbar. In my document, I have some cross-references to bookmarks. Some bookmarks begin with a lower-case letter (due to the context in which they are used), but this may be changed in the cross-reference by right-clicking on the field, Edit field, Format - First capital. However, when trying to capture this sequence in a macro recording, the right-click function is not available. Is there an alternative ...
Set Text Box Control To Blank
I have a procedure that executes on the beforeupdate event of a textbox (text24). The procedure works out the checkdigit for the number entered and if there is a discrepancy, a message box appears telling the user the number is wrong. What I'd like to do is modify the code as such so that when a discrepancy is found and the user clicks ok on the message box, focus is returned to (text24) and set to blank so that the faulty number is gone. Here is the code I am using.... It's quite crude as I'm only at beginner level, but hey, it works! Private Sub Text24_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Int...
