How can i use combo box or drop down list to open another form? I wanted to select the option from combo box or drop down list and it will open specific form based on which of the option that I clicked.
Thank You
Open specific forms with macro:
Add & Name Combo Box SelectFormsEdit
Go to Property Sheet -> Data Tab -> Edit Row Source -> SQL:
SELECT MsysObjects.Name
FROM MsysObjects
WHERE (((MsysObjects.Type)=-32768));
Event Tab, After Update, ... Code Builder:
Private Sub SelectFormsEdit_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.OpenForm SelectFormsEdit, , , , acFormEdit
End Sub

I was wondering how I can define a combo box in a form where the user can select an option from the existing list, and if he can't find the desired option, a "add a new option" can be accessed which converts the combo box to a text box for writing the new option?
You can put a button next to the combo, for an 'add option' which is triggered when the combo 'not in list' event is hit - and the button then would call a popup form - or in your suggestion, changes the visibility of an overlayed text box that allows for entry. I suggest a popup form, however, because then you can validate the input for length, content, etc - and then once the form or text box is filled in - exiting the text box, or submitting the form would save to your table for the drop down, refresh the combo box source query, and assign the value. I do this in VBA alot with popups.
Sorry my bad english :-(
You can directly use the "On Not in List" event. Look at the examples at
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/Access.ComboBox.NotInList
This is the scenario: A combobox called cb and a textbox called tb. Visible property of tb is false. Combobox and Textbox have the same data source. When you type a value that is not in the combobox list, that value goes to the textbox; when you finished editing textbox, it is hidden again.
Private Sub cb_NotInList(NewData As String, Response As Integer)
' Suppress error message and undo changes.
Response = acDataErrContinue
Me!cb.Undo
' Prompt user to verify they wish to add new value.
If MsgBox("Value is not in list. Add it?", vbOKCancel) = vbOK Then
Me!tb.Visible = True
Me!tb.Value = NewData
Me!tb.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
Private Sub tb_AfterUpdate()
' Hide again texbox
Me!tb.Visible = False
' Update combobox items
Me!cb.Requery
End Sub
I have a form with a subform (Datasheet view form). When i click a row in subform, i want pass that row value to text box in main form . In subform even wrote this
Private Sub Form_Click()
MsgBox (Noloan)
End Sub
But i don't know how to pass that subform form_click no_loan to mainform.textbox. Thanks for your help.
Additional data:In my db , i have a table which consist field No,NoLoan,Name. NoLoan Field value as i wanna clicked .From that table i create a subform/datasheet view ,subform name is T_Loan1. Then I create Main Form, name is FindLoan2. In that main/parent form i create text box, called Text7, and put T_Loan1 in subform object at footer.
I put this
=[Forms]![FindLoan2]![subformTLOAN].[Form]![Noloan]
in my Text7 Control and It's work.
Thank's for all attention.
Goto to the subform and click on the field which has the row value
Select Field property - click on events tab --> On Click --> Code Builder
Put below code in the Click event where Form_frmMain is your form name and Me.ID is the field.
Private Sub ID_Click()
Forms!FindLoan2.Text7 = Me.ID
End Sub
The best way is to write code that ignores the forms!names. If you copy the form, or change the sub form, or even drop the sub form into a different form, then all your code breaks.
To reference the textbox in the parent form from code, use:
me.Parent!Text7 = me!id
I am not sure which version of MS Access you are using, but it is also possible to use Tempvars to store values for use elsewhere if you have a complicated application which makes referencing another form/field/control difficult.
To create:
Tempvars.Add "TempVarName", TempvarValue
To use:
Tempvars!TempVarName
To remove:
Tempvars.Remove "TempVarName
I try to limit my use of them, as it becomes hard to manage. I am always careful about when I set the values and I ensure that they are removed after I am finished with them to avoid confusion or issues with values persisting when they shouldn't.
I have this empty combo box which I would like to fill with numbers from 0 to x. x is a value in a table.
I know almost nothing about VBA so any help will be appreciated.
When you add the combobox to the form make sure you select I will type in the values that I want radiobutton.
From the Devolper Tab change the view to Design View
Right click the blank space below the form and click Properties
The Properties Sheet should have Form selected in the Selection Type Combo near the top
Click the Event Tab
Select the On Load event and click the ellipse [...] button
Choose Code Builder
You can use DLookup, DMax, Or DMin to retrieve the your values from the a query or table.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim i As Long
Dim maxNumber As Long
maxNumber = DLookup("[StockLevel]", "InventoryTable", "[SKU] = 'HSC0424PP'")
For i = 0 To maxNumber
Combo4.AddItem i
Next
End Sub
So I have a form (frmBookingForm) in Access, and a listbox (lstMyBookings) that displays the results of a query.
Below this, I have a button (cmdDeleteBooking) which runs a delete query using the lstMyBookings selection as input. The button then runs a macro that firstly checks whether a record in the listbox is selected, and if one is, runs the delete query and requeries the data, so the deleted record is no longer shown in the listbox. If not, an error message is displayed.
However, if I then click the button again, it again runs the delete query, even though there is apparently nothing selected in the list box.
Essentially, how can I 'clear' the listbox selection?
I'd prefer a solution that can be done in a macro format, as I have little to no understanding of VBA. However, if providing a VBA solution, I'd greatly appreciate a short explanation of it.
Thanks :)
Looks like this website has a nice little function to do it. Essentially, you need to test if it's a multiselect, and then do one of two things. I suppose if you know ahead of time that it is/isn't a multiselect, you wouldn't even need the "if" statement:
If List0.MultiSelect = 0 Then
List0 = Null
Else
For Each varItem In List0.ItemsSelected
List0.Selected(varItem) = False
Next
End If
If the control's MultiSelect property is set to None, this code just sets List0 to Null. If the control's MultiSelect property is set to anything else, the code loops through all items that are currently selected, and sets the Selected property of that item to False. My example assumes your control is called List0.
EDIT
To use this code, use an event instead of a macro. Here's how you do this:
Right click on the button, select properties
In the Property Sheet window, click on the "Event" tab
Click inside of the "On Click" blank area, and click the dropdown arrow, then select "[Event Procedure]"
Click the ellipsis ("...") to go into the code editor.
In the code editor, your should already have your event for the button (let's assume the button is called Command1:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
End Sub
Add your code in between (assuming the listbox is called List0):
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If List0.MultiSelect = 0 Then
List0 = Null
Else
For Each varItem In List0.ItemsSelected
List0.Selected(varItem) = False
Next
End If
End Sub
I created a drop-down menu with 3 selections. I need to link each selection to open up a new form so that the user will have choices for each selection. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You've got quite a short vague question there, in this answer I'm assuming that by "drop-down menu" you mean combo box.
On the "Change" event for your combo box, have a select case statement that has case statements corresponding to each value that your combo box could take. For each case statement have a DoCmd.OpenForm("FormName".....) statement for each form you would like to open.
If you want a more specific answer, please post a more specific/detailed question (with code you've tried).
If the selections in your combo box contain the actual form names you want to open, you can do this with a single statement in the combo box's "On Change" or "After Update" event:
DoCmd.OpenForm Combo1.Value
If the values in your combo box will be different than the form names you want to open, you can write a select statement:
Select Case Combo1.Value
Case "Option1"
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form 1 Name"
Case "Option2"
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form 2 Name"
Case "Option3"
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form 3 Name"
End Select
