I have a continuous form where i have a listbox assigned to an ID. I cant seem to select anything in the list box. I have the row source property set to a Value List. I manually typed in "Y";"N" for the list.
If I don't assign the control source to the ID, all listboxes are selected at once on the form.
Is there any property I should change?
Thanks
You cannot sensibly use unbound controls on a continuous form.

I have two forms:
InterviewMaster and InterviewDetail
InterviewDetail opens up as a subform in InterviewMaster and these two forms are linked through a common field called InterviewID
In InterviewDetail I have a textbox called Questiontype as well as combobox called InterviewDropdown.
The data in the dropdown varies based on the data on in the textbox. To make this happen, I have a next button to move to the next question. Whenever I click on next the following runs:
Dim ctlCombo As Control
Set ctlCombo = Forms!InterviewDetail!cmbInterviewDropdown
ctlCombo.Requery
The Row Source setting for my combobox is set to look up the required answers, again this is based on the value as per the textbox:
SELECT [queryAnswerOptions].[Answer] FROM queryAnswerOptions ORDER BY [Answer];
So the options are determined by my query called queryAnswerOptions
So as I cycle through my questions using my next and previous buttons, the dropdown options are updated based on the value of my textbox. This works perfectly when I open the subform from the navigation pane. However, when I open the main form and click on the next button my dropdown does not have any values. I've tried requerying the subform with no luck. I've also tried opening the subform in full screen from my main form but this also does not work. I also don't want to go that route as it does not work well with the overall flow of my form.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Problem with the query WHERE criteria parameter is when form is installed as a subform, the form reference no longer works because it must use the subform container control name. I always name container control different from the object it holds, such as ctrDetails.
Option is to put SQL statement directly in combobox RowSource instead of basing combobox RowSource on a dynamic parameterized query object - then it will work whether form is standalone or a subform.
SELECT Answer FROM InterviewAnswers WHERE QuestionID = [txtQuestionID] ORDER BY Answer;
I am trying to filter a subform based off a value selected in a listbox.
My list box is called cboCurrentListName and this is populated using a select query
The subform is called Form_subform_ListContents
For the change event for the list box I have the following code, however no filters are applied when its executed.
Me.Form_subform_ListContents.Form.Filter = "[ListName]=" & Me.cboCurrentListName.Value
Me.Form_subform_ListContents.Form.Filter = True
I have also tried using Master/Child links to execute this using the following steps, but this caused an input box to pop up when the fom loaded:
first I set the 'link child fields' option in the properties of the subform to 'ListName' (this is the field name that populates the list box and is present in the subform
then I set the 'link master fields' option in the properties of the subform to 'cboCurrentListName' (the listbox name)
then in the listbox properties I set the control source to 'cboCurrentListName'
The above steps cased an input box to pop up on opening the form (the value typed in here does filter the subform). However I don't want an input box in order to do this, I want to use the listbox.
I have googled this and fried different methods but have had no luck. I am pretty new to access and of the control source sections aren't a strong point of mine, which is why I tried to use the VBA on the event change instead
Any help would be appricaited, I tried a few things and had no luck.
EDIT: When trying the master/hild option I also get an error 'Can'y build a link between unbound forms' if I click the 3 dots in the poperties. SO for the above steps I had to manually type in the otpions.
hey i am a total noob and only found ways to pass a value between two forms.
this is the form i am working with: form.
in this form (event.form) there is a subform (Fundort_kurz-Subform) which lists data. when i click one row inside the subform the value for "objid" appears in textbox "text501" by "=[Fundort_kurz-Subform].[Form]![Objid]". I automatically want the value from field "text501" to be passed to field "Objid_3" which is meant to write the value into the table.
Not sure what you are doing, but use the OnCurrent event of the subform:
Me.Parent!Objid_3.Value = Me!text501.Value
And do rename your controls to something meaningful.
I have form that is not based on any table and I have a combobox on it that gets it data from a query (which hs id and text).
When I look at form in formview, I can open the dropdown section of combobox and it has values from the query, but I am not able to selct it. I tried to select it by any of the following ways:
1- Clicking on an item.
2- DBClicking on an item
3- Pressing ener on an item.
What is the problen and how can I fix it?
I am using Accesss 2003 on windows XP
Have you by accident set the Locked property to Yes? You can still drop down a locked combo-box but can't select any items.
See if your Form has property Allow Edits set to True.
I am new to vb.net and I am using visual studio 2010. I have two comboboxes on a form, each combobox is set to DropDownList so that a list of items can show in the combobox, but no text is allowed to be entered.
For combobox A, if user chooses item 1, the list of combobox B should be updated accordingly. I think this is quite common on a lot of applications. But I do not know to implement it. I even do not know the keyword to search for the relevant property or event handler.
Thanks a lot!
Take a look at SelectedValueChanged. You can subscrive to this event on your first combobox, then when the event is raised, you can combo2.Items.Clear () the 2nd collection, then add your items.
