combo box filtering -access2007

23 New Member
i've got 2 tables tblCompany and tblHrtasks and on the form:

when i choose the company name, the subform gives the details of employee attached to that company; but there is a combo box in the subform for choosing the employee and i want a filter on the combo (on the subform) so that it displays only employees those are attached to the company (based on the selection before from the master form)

following is the code in the afterupdate of the combo in the main form:

Private Sub Combo14_AfterUp date()
'Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Cl one
rs.FindFirst "[id] = " & Str(Nz(Me![Combo14], 0))
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
[Forms]![form1]![hr_tasks_frm].Visible = True
End Sub

this displays all the employees belong to the selected company from the combo [combo14] on the main form (Form1)

Now:

on the subform [Forms]![form1]![hr_tasks_frm] i've got a combo [combo18] in which i want to filter only those employees belong to the selected in combo14;

this will help user to choose fast the employees and do the necessary human resources tasks on them

help very much appreciated
thanks

Depends on where you're at. If you're in the main form then you use Me.SubformContr olName.Form.Con trolName. If you're in the subform then you use Me.Parent.Contr olName.

Acc97. I have a form which within a subform records machine down time. I have a total of 8 machines. (1-2-3 ect.) What I have been doing is using a combo box linked to the record table to select, the reasons based upon generic terms. The problem is that I have so many records now, that it takes more time looking and picking out the correct fault reason than it does completing the rest of the form!

I've got two databases with similar data in them (WestSide and EastSide). I've set up two identical reports that is filtered by date and the client name. I'm using one form to do the filtering. Currently, I've used queries to combine the two client lists, so when I open the combo box, I have many names I need to scroll through until I find the one I want. How can I use filtering to only see clients from one database or the other,...

I hope that someone can offer a little advice on this one - I've searched the group but can't find an answer. I think that I'm doing something really stupid or missing something trivial, but see what you can make of this... I have a main form "Events" that contains a tab control. The tab control has 7 pages. The 7th page (named "Boats") contains a subform called "BoatEventssubform". On this sub-form are two combo boxes, named...

I read about limiting combo boxes' list data, for example, limiting the list of values in the second combo based on values in the first combo, and I found the Dev Ashish site link. I have two combos based on lookups of very small tables, Audit Descriptions and Programs. Combo 1: Audit Descriptions has Comprehensive, Fire Safety, Medical, MSC, Snapshot. Combo 2: Programs has A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H (for example).

I have an ordering form that use two combo boxes to filter down the records of a Products table. This worked fine with the after_Update of the first filtering the records and creating the rowsource of the second combo. The second combo's control source is the Product ID field (foriegn key) on the Orders table. Everything worked well until I decided to enhance the form by changing the second combo to an option group. Now I don't know...

I was wondering how you handle active/inactive elements in a combo box. Let's say you have a combo box to select an employee. Joe Blow has been selected for many record however Joe has left the company and has been flagged inactive. If you have a filter on the rowsource like Where Active = True then Joe's name would not show up in the combo list. This would be fine if the combo is associated with a field that is null/0. It would not be...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
