Change default value of textbox to last value entered - vba

I have a FORM (frm_Amounts) based on a TABLE (tbl_Amounts), containing three Text Boxes,
The first Text Box is (Amount_EUR) based on field value in [tbl_Amounts].
The second Text Box is (ExchangeRate). Its value is entered in the FORM.
The third Text Box is (Amount_US$). Its value is calculated by: [Amount_EUR] * [ExchangeRate]
Initially I will enter a value for [ExchangeRate]. I want that value to become the default value until I enter a new value for [ExchangeRate].
This new value will continue as the default until I change it, and so on.
When I close the Access database and reopen, I want the last value entered in [ExchangeRate] to be the default value for the [ExchangeRate] Text Box.

Use the AfterUpdate event of [ExchangeRate] textbox to set its DefaultValue property with value just entered. Subsequent new records will have that value until a new input or the form is closed. Changing Textbox.DefaultValue in Access
When opening form, if you want to retrieve the last value entered, that will require either saving that value into a special table for that purpose or doing a search of the actual data table to pull that value.

How to automatically fill a form field?

I would like to fill automatically a field when a certain value is selected in an other field. The columns concerned in my form :
I want when the value "Recrutement" in field [Nom Entreprise] is selected fill automatically field [Candidats Potentiels] with the word "Recrutement".
Should I create an event?

Getting a Value if a Field and Record number is known?

Good Evening,
I am working on a Combo Search Form that is designed to search for information by criteria. The form has a combo box containing field values and a text box beside it. The selection of a field value in the combo box will fill in the text box beside it with the relevant information for that record, all the relevant information is contained in the PetTable.
I have managed to get the combo box to display the fields from the PetTable by setting the rowSource to PetTable and the sourceType to Field List... however that's where I hit my dead end.
In the Text Box beside the combo-box I tried grabbing the value of the combo box and putting it into the textbox by making the Text box control source "=ComboBox", however this just created a textbox which has a literal text string to that of the combo box.
My next thought was to make the text box Control source "=PetTable.PetComboBox" my thought was that the PetTable references the table with my information and the "PetComboBox" becomes the field a need to get. This did not work either and gave a #Name error"
What should be happening is: In the Combo-box if I selected [Pet Name], I would hope that the textbox beside it becomes "Fido" but instead it also becomes [Pet Name].
Any and all help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Desired Effect
What you need to do is to change the Row Source Type of the Combo Box to "Table/Query". Then in the "Row Source" click on the "..." to open up the Query Builder. Select the table that you want. Add the columns that you want. I would suggest the table's primary key PetID, and then any other fields - in your case at least PetName. You may also want to sort by PetName to make it easier for the user to scroll through. Close the Query Builder and save the changes. Change the combo box's ColumnCount to 2, and set the Column Widths to be "0cm;6cm" (setting the first column to have a width of 0 means that it is not displayed to the user).
Now move to you TextBox, and set the Control Source to be:
=[Combo0].Column(1)
Note that columns in a combox box are 0-indexed, so the first column is column 0, the second (in your case containing PetName) is column 1.
As you actually want to show the field names, rather than the data in the combo box, then you will need to set the RowSourceType to be "Field List", and then select the table name as the RowSource.
You will then need a small piece of VBA to lookup the value of that field in the table for the current record:
Sub sListFieldData()
If Not IsNull(Me!Combo0) Then
Me!Text2 = DLookup(Me!Combo0, "tblPet", "PetID=" & Me!PetID)
Else
Me!Text2 = ""
End If
End Sub
And you will then need to call this procedure in the combo box's AfterUpdate event (to catch when it has been changed by the user) and also in the form's Current event (to catch when the user moves between records):
Private Sub Combo0_AfterUpdate()
Call sListFieldData
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Current()
Call sListFieldData
End Sub

Getting typed OR selected value from combo box

I have a combo box (myCB) in a form. The user can either select a drop down value or type a value in the box. When the user clicks a button, I want to get the value in the combo box for use in a query.
I am using myCB.Column(0) to grab the value. This works if the user has clicked a selection in the combo box. However, if the user has typed the value, then myCB.Column(0) is null. I have also tried myCB.Text and myCB.Value. Both give null.
How can I grab the combo box value regardless of whether it was selected or typed?
Edited to add properties:
Row Source: "SELECT DISTINCT Item FROM tblItems" (this is set in VBA code, and not in property sheet)
Bound Column: 1
Column Count: 1
Column Widths:
Control Source: ItemName
Figured it out. I was grabbing the combo box value after DoCmd.GoToRecord , "", acNewRec in the OnClick procedure, and the behavior was wonky. Running the value-testing stuff before a new record is accessed yields the correct behavior. Thank you everyone for your help.

How to enter values in two different text box with same attributes?

Snippet
I used this code
driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//input[#type='number'])[1]")).sendKeys("20000");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//input[#required='required'])[2]")).sendKeys("3000");
But when it enter value of second textbox the value of first also changes.

dijit.form.Combobox show label Instead of value

I've a dijit.form.Combobox field which uses a ItemFileReadStore to pull Its data.
Teh ItemFileReadStore has two attribute per Item value which will be used for form submission , generally Unique Integers and label which is Human Understandable String.
In ComboBox HTML I've done searchAttr="value" labelAttr="label"
When the ComboBox Shows the list it uses teh label Attribute.
But When the User selects one of the Item it shows the value of that Item.
What I want is , The value Attribute will Still be used for Form Submission. But the User will always see the label in the combobox Control.
alt text http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/6660/dijitcombo.jpg
e.g. I Want to Show The Label for value 3 (Admin) instead of 3
Use FilteringSelect instead of Combobox.
Note: ComboBox only has a single value that matches what is displayed while FilteringSelect incorporates a hidden value that corresponds to the displayed value.
I have tried the following.
var cmbObject = Registry.byId('combo dojo id'); var id =
cmbObject.item.<Code Property>;
You should check if item is null.
