I'm trying to make a BrowseTo action in MS Access 2016 accept user input in a where clause. The input comes from a textbox called searchText. It can be seen here.
I've tried before and have had no luck. When I click the button it returns a blank.

I have a query that get a value from a query field. once I open the form and choose the value and I open the query it does open with no problem. I want to put a button in the same form that will allow me to open the query. Once I put the button and use the button wizard to make it open the query I get this issue once I press on the button:
The query:
SELECT Courses.Course_Id AS رقم_الدورة, Courses.Course_Name AS اسم_الدورة,
Courses.Date_Course AS تاريخ_الدورة
FROM Courses INNER JOIN Colleges ON Courses.college_Id = Colleges.college_Id
WHERE Forms![FormName]![colleges].Value=Colleges.college_Name;
Note once I open the form and open the query I get no result. but once I close the form and open the query, the query will ask me to type in the input manually and once I type in the input manually I get the right result. But once I open the the form it wont ask to input because it should take the value from the combobox colleges and it do but I think it takes something wrong knowing that the combobox contain text.
The issue I had is that the comboBox by default contain of 2 columns 0 and 1 and in the query by it self it is not possible to specify the column as I tried to specifying the column using or ![Column(1)] or even .Column(1) but none of them work and I search more this features is no more allowed since access 2013 in the query which means I should use VB to resolve it but as I continue to search I was able to do it by using a textbox so I created a textbox that read the information from the combobox and as I did that I was able to read the information from the textbox in my query
I have 2 parameters Country as TextBox and State as DropDown. Country parameter asks user to enter value manually and based on that Country entered the State Parameter gets populated.
But, After entering the text in Country it is required to press enter or view report button by which I am getting an error first (Please select a value for parameter State) and then the State parameter is getting populated.
Is there any way to do this without pressing enter or clicking on view report? OR Pressing enter without error prompt(Please select a value for parameter State).
You're trying to do more with SSRS parameters than they were intended for.
The cleanest solution would be to build a "searching" report that would use the MovieNamePart parameter and display a list of all of the matching movie titles.
You would then put an action on the text which would open the other report and pass the full name of the movie.
Alternatively you could just bring in all the info about the movie as well and have it displayed as a collapsed section under each name. The user would then have access to all of the information about all of the matching movies without needing to load another report.
I'm trying to create a database that is user friendly. So far I've developed two forms.
Form 1 shows an overview of orders. Form 2 shows the details of a specific order. Form 2 is build on a query that retrieves information from different tables.
When I open form 2, a parameter input dialog box appears asking me which ordernr he has to look for. When I type in a number, the specific details from that record are shown.
Now comes the tricky part. form 1 shows the overview. When i click on an ordernr a textbox is filled. I did this to confirm the program reads the right number.
My question: How do I get the number from my textfield in form 1, into the parameter input dialog in form 2? The numbers are stored as text so no conversion is needed.
I saw a lot of solutions with DoCmd.OpenForm "Formname" ,,,,,, OpenArgs. I do believe this can be the sollution. I just don't know how to get OpenArgs into the Parameter Input Dialog.
Thanks for helping!
Change the query of the second form to have the value of the text box that you populate as a filter on the ordernr field. You might also to set the 'Modal' property of the second form to 'True' as this will prevent (or hinder at least) unsynced forms.
I have a form in MS access. I have created a few textboxs in that form. I have input a function in the control source property of a particular textbox(TOTAL). This basically sums up numbers entered by the user and displays it in the textbox.
The problem is the textbox is unbound. I want to bind the textbox to a field in the table using vba code. I could have just bind the textbox by the putting the table field name in the control source property but it is occupied with the SUM() function.
I not sure how to proceed here. I have tried searching up on the web for several days but failed to gather a reasonale solution.
Please help
You need to remove the sum function and put that in a suitable event for the form or event for another control and then bind the textbox.
As a general rule, you should not be storing calculated values, it is against the rules for normalization.
So when I exit a form from my newly converted .mdb it asks to Enter Parameter Value.
It goes through (ie if i enter a value, it asks for another) the values required for a query that is run on a List Box on the page. The query has not been changed during the conversion.
The values it is getting for the query are from text boxes on the same form.
There are a few Requeries in the form (run from VB) so I imagine that it is rerunning again on Exit (although this isnt explicit in the form properties).
I'm not quite sure how to go about solving this.
Your help would be great.
Thanks
