Microsoft Access using listbox with form value - ms-access

I have been trawling the internet for a working solution to my immediate problem, and whilst I have found what appear to be solutions they don't actually work.
I have a member form "Members" from a members Table. I also have a Children table which list all children. The members table has a ID Number field and the children table has an Member_ID field.
What I want is when you show a member in the main form, the listbox shows all children for that member. The Row source for the listbox is
SELECT [Children Query].[Child Name], [Children Query].Child_Date_Of_Birth
FROM [Children Query]
WHERE ((([Children Query].[Member ID])=[Forms]![Members]![ID Number]));
All I seem to get is blanks. If I remove the WHERE then all children appear on all members.
I thought that maybe I need to refresh the query somehow every time I change members, but the first member to appear on opening the form has a child and even that one doesn't appear.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm fairly new to VB. I know this can be done but all of the site that I have found explain exactly what I am doing.
Thanks

Paste a value in a textbox on the second tab of a navigation form access vba

I'm quite new to VBA and I've been looking around but cannot seem to find a solution to my problem.
I have made a navigation form (frmNavigation) with 3 buttons, each referring to a different form, let's call them frm1, frm2 and frm3. In the navigationform the control buttons to switch between tabs are all named differently (btn1, btn2, btn3), but the subform that shows either frm1, frm2, or frm3 has the same name: “NavigationSubform” (this shows a different form depending on which tab is clicked on, based on the 'navagation target name' referring to frm1, frm2 and frm3).
When I want to refer to a textbox (txtBox1) on form 1 (first tab) and insert a value i can do this by:
Forms!frmNavigation!NavigationSubform.Form!txtBox1.Value = "insert awesome text"
But how would I refer to txtbox10 on the second tab (frm2)? Just using the following does not work:
Forms!frmNavigation!NavigationSubform.Form!txtBox10.Value
You then get the error 2465 (can't find the field).
I’ve been trying many different things, but can’t seem to get it right. So how do I refer to a textbox on a different tab than the first one?
Help us much appreciated!
Only one subform can be loaded at once. So you've just got to break this process into two steps.
Store the value from txtBox1 somewhere outside of the NavigationSubforms (a textbox on the parent form with visible = no, a global variable or a table works).
In frm2's On Load event, set txtbox10 to be the value you stored.
Just note, that you will need to add conditions in the On Load event if you want to avoid that textbox being set to an empty string or a wrong value if you have a setup where your filter is changing.

Autofilling my form in Access with the use of a Combo Box

I'm having a problem when I want to autofill my form in Microsoft Access. The idea is that I use a combo box to select a name. Then the onChange code of my Combobox automaticlly inserts all the other data in the proper field. I use this code on the Combo Box.
Private Sub cmbName_Change()
Me.tbPersonalNumber = Me.cmbName.Column(0)
Me.tbEmailadress = Me.cmbName.Column(2)
Me.tbBirthday = Me.cmbName.Column(3)
End Sub
This methode works fine for the personalnumber and the emailadress. But it doesn't work for the birthday date, it returns a null value but when I check my table there is is a date in the proper field.
Am I missing something? I tried everything but it wont work.
I was thinking that the problem is related to the birthday column being the last in the table. Or having the date type.
Thank you in advance for your time and efford!
Edit; The .Column(1) is missing because this is the name that is already inserted with the ComboBox.
There is some confusion caused by the wording of the question, I'll try to state back how I've interpreted and if I have it right it may lead you to an answer.
You have combo box called cmdName that is pre-populated with data from a table. The content of the combo box could look as below (you may have set column widths to zero to hide the data)
0001|Gary Evans|gary#email.com|01/Jan/1970
0002|J Rommers |JR#email.com |02/Jan/1970
When the user selects J Rommers Me.tbPersonalNumber is populated with Me.cmbName.Column(0) (0002) and Me.tbEmailadress is populated with Me.cmbName.Column(2) (JR#email.com) but Me.tbBirthday is not being populated with Me.cmbName.Column(3) (02/Jan/1970).
Assuming Me.tbBirthday is a text box with no code that might clear it out, I suspect the issue is within the combo box. Not being sure how your combo box is set up, I would suggets the following checks:-
In the combo box properties, does the Column Count equal 4?
In debug, with a breakpoint on Me.tbBirthday = Me.cmbName.Column(3), does it show you the date you are after?
If it is not there does the query that populates the combo box have it in?
Edit based on comments to help further: -
Change the query to SELECT Personel.PersonalNumber, Personel.Emailadress, Personel.Birthday, Personel.Name FROM Personel ORDER BY Personel.Name; this puts all the fields you want hidden at the front.
Change the column widths property of cmbName to 0,0,0, this first the ones you want hidden and leave the last one to fill the width of the combo box.
Ensure the column count property is still 4 as per the answer
Change your code as per below and Gustav's answer
Replacement code:-
Me.tbPersonalNumber = Me.cmbName.Column(0)
Me.tbEmailadress = Me.cmbName.Column(1)
Me.tbBirthday = DateValue(Me.cmbName.Column(2))
This accounts for the fields moving in the query and ensure the date shows as a date like you wanted.
Comboboxes (and Listboxes) always return a string, so convert that to a Date value:
Me!tbBirthday.Value = DateValue(Me!cmbName.Column(3))

Only allowing one Drilldown in SSRS

It took me hours of searching and putting together piecemeal parts to find the solution to this, so I figured I'd post it on here in the hopes of helping someone else.
The Problem: We need to display a report, with proper grouping and drilldowns. However, we should only allow one group to be drilled down at one time.
SSRS doesn't exactly have robust scripting options - for instance, you can't close other groups "on click" or anything like that. So how do you do it?
In My example i'm using the AdventureworksDW database. I want to have a dataset that includes the total sales for each group and region. My Stored Procedure looks something like this:
SELECT dst.SalesTerritoryGroup,
dst.SalesTerritoryRegion,
SUM(fis.SalesAmount) AS SaleTotal,
DATEPART(YEAR,fis.OrderDate) AS OrderYear
FROM [dbo].FactInternetSales AS fis
INNER JOIN [dbo].DimSalesTerritory AS dst
ON fis.SalesTerritoryKey = dst.SalesTerritoryKey
WHERE fis.OrderDate < #QueryEndDate
GROUP BY
dst.SalesTerritoryGroup,
dst.SalesTerritoryRegion,
DATEPART(YEAR,fis.OrderDate)
UNION ALL /*The ResellerSales table. Same info.*/
From there I added a table with two groups: SalesTerritoryRegion and its parent, SalesTerritoryGroup. I also added a column to the left INSIDE the SalesTerritoryGroup, with an X (this can also be an image if you'd like). This is the "Drilldown" button that we'll use.
Create a string parameter, mine was #ExpandedGroup. Set the Default to an empty string (so that all the groups start out collapsed). Right click on the SalesTerritoryRegion group, or whatever your subgroup is, and go to the visibility tab. Click "Show or Hide based on Expression" and enter something like this:
=iif(Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value="" or
Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value<>Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value,True,False)
This statement means: If we haven't opened a dropdown, or if the dropdown isn't the one selected, set hidden to true. Otherwise, false.
Next click on your "X" column to the left of SalesTerritoryGroup or your supergroup. Right click to go to Textbox Properties. Click the action tab. From there select "Go to Report". When you specify a report, make the target itself (For instance, mine is Main). Then, add parameters to the report.
The most important here is ExpandedGroup. The name should be ExpandedGroup, but the value is not just [ExpandedGroup]. Instead, it's an expression:
=IIF(Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value=Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value,
"",
Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value)
This expression says: If the Group is the same as the Expanded group, make ExpandedGroup an empty string when you load the report. Otherwise, send the TerritoryGroup value. Essentially, this will let us toggle on and off the drilldown (same as you would in the report if you had traditional drilldowns).
Note: Also be sure to pass other parameters! For instance, my query requires a date to exclude some transaction data. If you don't pass this parameter in the "Go to Report" action, then you'll have to enter it again when you DrillDown. This also means you can give yourself even more flexibility when you click a drilldown (changing a chart that's displayed etc.) which is what I'm doing for this project.
Hope it helps someone out! Of course, if there is a more elegant or simpler solution I'd absolutely love to hear it.

How to get the max of a sum?

Can anyone tell me how do I get the Max of a calculated field? Below is an image of my situation:
Note that Flag is of type int.
I want to write the expression in the image , but when I use it, it kinda does:
Sum(Sum(Fields!Flag.value))
Can anyone help me out on this. I think I need to add scope for the Sum(Flag) but when I add the group scope as EMPID as:
=iif(SUM(Fields!Flag.value,"Fields!EmpID.Value")>2,"RED",nothing)
It throws me an error saying something about the scope.
EDIT:
I need attendance of each employees. FLAG is basically 1 if absent and 0 if anything else.
The bottom row(Flag,Date,Status,Comment). Now I have an alert There:
=iif(Fields!Flag.Value=1,"RED",Nothing)
Beside the Textbox(Textbox62) in middle row(EmpID,EmpName) I did Expression:SUM(Flag) and in the Fill section in Text Box Properties i have done:
=iif(SUM(Fields!Flag.value,"Fields!EmpID.Value")>2,"RED",nothing)
So the above expression creates an alert if employee is absent more than 3 days.
The top most row(Department,Manager) can be drilled down for to see more detailed view of the report. Now my problem is, in the column (FLAG) i need to create a Background color change if any employee in a particular department is absent more than 3 days.so that we do not have to drill down all the departments in order see if any employee is absent or not.
So my approach was to see the Max(Sum(Flag))>2 then create color change. I tried:
=iif(MAX(Sum(Fields!Flag.Value))>2,"Red",Nothing)
It does not work at the Department level as it basically considers (SUM(Sum(Flag))).
Thanks................
If you don't specify the scope of an aggregate, it is assumed that you are using the current scope. For example, when you say
Sum(Fields!Flag.value)
It is interpreted as something like
Sum(Fields!Flag.value, "EmpID")
The scope is the name of the Group, not the name of a dataset field.
Depending on where it is in the table. When you want to say something like
Sum(Sum(Fields!Flag.value))
You need to specify the scope for each one that isn't going to be the current default.
In your case you should use something like this:
=iif(MAX(SUM(Fields!Flag.value, "EmpID"), "Department")>2,"RED",nothing)
Again, pay attention to which group each aggregate is referring to and where the expression is on the table.
Also, this expression in a textbox will just make the word "RED" appear in the box. If you want it to change the color, you have to put it in the "Fill color" expression in the properties.

Prevent caching data of a dataTable

I have a ice:dataTable and in each row, there is a inputText. The record list is updated every time when fire a valueChangeListener on some other component.
When it resets the record list, browser shows the previous values for inputText fields in table rows.
I tried both Filter and <meta/> tags. It didn't work for me.
Can somebody tell me how to get rid of this problem?
(Backing bean keeps the actual record list)
This is a JSF problem, take a look at the following answer for details
Input fields hold previous values only if validation failed
To make it simple JSF keeps values in the partialViewContext so all what you have to do to reset all components in the partialViewContext
or if you are using primefaces you can simply add < p:resetInput target="tableId"/> to the field (nested inside) or if you are using OmiFaces then you can use ResetInputAjaxActionListener
