Hi all,
I have got a question here perhaps someone can provide me some good information or suggestion.
In the Access Form I have created 2 combo box one is Activity combo box, the other is Condition combo box.
When i select on Activity combo box value, my Condition combo box will display all the descriptions of the Condition corresponding to the Activity i have selected. ( this is what i wish to get)
The problem i have encountered is when i select on Activity combo box value, the Condition combo box will only be able to display the certain of values, i think it is because Combo box size has a limitation of 225 length, i think my condition value is more than 225.
So what should i do now in order to get my condition box display all the values which i have set on the condition table.
Please feel free to ask me if have got any queries.
Many thanks.
Ray

Hi Ray
I assume your condition field is a memo. This is going to be a problem as I don't think you can display a memo field in a combo box so Access is defaulting to a text field with a 255 maximum length. If you explain what you are trying to do and why we may be able to suggest an alternative.

Hi Mary,
My database is like that when user choose on one of the activity from the Activity Combo Box lets say "Camping", when Camping value is selected the Condition Combo box will show all the condition which need it for Camping such as C1, C2, C3 and so on. However user would like to know what are C1, C2,C3 stands for, that's why i would like to let user know the each different description of condition instead of only showing C1, C2 and C3.
Many thanks.
Cheers

Hi Ray
Put a textbox (txtDesc) on the form and in the AfterUpdate or OnChange event of Condition combo put the following: - Me!txtDesc = DLookup("[Description]", "Tablename", "[Condition]='" & Me!Condition & "'")
You will have to change the field and table names to your own but you should get the idea.

Hi Mary,
I have tried what you said to me however it doesn't show the description on the txtDesc box. Am i doing something wrong?
Many thanks.

Hi Ray
Post the code you've used with your own fieldnames and tablename and I'll have a look.
Mary
Hi Mary,
My code is as follows and i think i have messed up something as i just learn how to Access recently.
Private Sub ConditionID_Change()
Me!txtDesc = DLookup("[Condition]", "TabCondition", "[ConditionID]='" & Me!ConditionID & "'")
End Sub
I have named my condition table as TabCondition, in the TabCodition i have created 3 FieldName :
FieldName Data Type
(1)ConditionID Number
(2)Condition Memo
(3)EventID Number
I have followed what you said to create a text box in form and i have named it as txtDesc.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
Mary,
One more question to ask you! Do you know how to order the Access to get a word document from somewhere in the computer and print it?
Many thanks.
Cheers
Ray
ConditionID is a Number so it doesn't need single quotes. -
Private Sub ConditionID_Change()
-
Me!txtDesc = DLookup("[Condition]", "TabCondition", "[ConditionID]=" & Me!ConditionID)
-
End Sub
Also check that your combobox is called ConditionID?
Hi Mary,
Finally it worked! Thanks very much.
I found a problem here when i create a new record in Access, the condition txt box doesn't clear the data automatically?
So do you know how to clear the previous data entry form after the creating the new record?
Many thanks.
Cheers

- Me!txtDesc.Refresh
-
OR
-
Me!txtDesc.Requery
should clear it.
