Select unused records in a listbox

29 New Member
Hello all!

Thanks everyone for the great help you've given me so far on this forum - I have another intermediate question.

I currently have a form where a user chooses a piece of equipment, followed by a subform where they can add records to it which are different parts that piece of equipment can have, which is working good! The user just clicks a drop down, selects the compartment they want to add and they

My tables go tblEquipment (equipmentID and equipmentName) - tblCompartment (equipmentID and compartmentCode ) -tblCompartmentL ist (compartmentCod e and compartmentDesc ription)

My current rowsource for the dropdown box in my sub form is "SELECT tblCompartmentL ist.compartment Code, tblCompartmentL ist.compartment Name
FROM tblCompartmentL ist;" and its Control Source is set to dump their selection into the compartment table.



My Question:
I only want compartments that have NOT yet been added to that specific equipment to show up in that drop down box, so that if the user say adds a transmission, then adds another record, transmission will not be an available selection.



Thanks in advance. Hopefully I have provided enough information but please let me know if you need anything else!

Hello Everyone, I have a main form with a datasheet subform that I use to query by form.

How to allow users to select a set of records and then let them change a field for all these records at once? I would like to do this in code on a form. I will have a form with tabular view of records, and I guess they will select more than one record with the SHIFT key, then they can modify a whole bunch of records at once. Thanks

How can you select records based on more than one combo box - I have a combobox that selects records based on name (I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times - web site answer/link could be helpful too; but I'm so bad with syntax that specifics will be MOST helpful) SELECT DISTINCT ., .

I have a listbox set to simple multi select. For this example, users only select one item at a time. I have command buttons on the form for First, Previous, Next, Last, New (record). The form and listbox are unbound. The listbox rowsource is a value list. The list box has about sixty items in it. Each item in the list box corresponds to a record in the database. When a user selects a row in the list box, the record is retrieved. The...

I have a list box that is bound to a table with many records. I have a select all button that when clicked, obviously, selects all of the items in the list box. However, it takes a fairly long time to select all of the elements because I am simply looping through all of the elements in the list box and setting the selected property to true. I have noticed that if I perform a shift select on the list box, all of the items are rapidly...

Good day all, I am working on a multi-select list box for a standard question checklist database and I am running into a syntax error in the code that I cannot seem to correct. I will also note that I am using Allen Browne's multi-select list box for a report as a guide. I should also note that my access skills are not the best so I may need some explaining on certain things. First let me give some background on the database: I have a...

Hi - Has anyone ever used toggle buttons to select items in a listbox? I'd like to put about 24 toggle buttons on an unbound form that select or deselect items in a multiple select listbox. I've come across a way to set the listbox value to only 1 at a time, but need multiple toggle buttons to be on their corresponding listbox item values to be selected. Thanks!

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
