Ahh... by opening a connection to the database, and then populating a recordset with a query that retrieves the required information from the database. Then useing a do while not rs.eof loop and the .additem method of the combo box to load the retrieved data into it.



Good Luck

I've created a small company database where the tables reside in a SQL Server database. I'm using Access 2000 forms for a front end. I've got a System DSN set-up to SQL Server and am using links within Access 2000 to get to the SQL Server tables. My forms worked fine until I made a few minor changes to the database schema on SQL Server (e.g. added a foreign key, or added a column). After that, all the links break - I click on a table...

Hi all, Does anyone have any bright ideas for Access' tendency to add square brackets when it parses queries, then tell you that the query syntax is invalid. In my case, I'm trying to do a LEFT JOIN on a subquery, like so: SELECT DISTINCT . FROM LEFT JOIN (SELECT FROM targetMarkers WHERE targetID = Forms!frmTargetDetails ) as TM ON . = targetMarkers. WHERE (((targetMarkers.) Is Null));

I have a data entry form that contains drop-down lists such as 'Assigned to:' with a list of staff member names. Those names end up as numerical codes in the main table ('ProjectInfo') of the Access database. Is there some way - such as a SQL satement added to a query already set up in Access - to add a statement such as 'if 1 then 'Smith', if 2 then 'Brown', if 3 then 'Williams' ', and so on? That would be an automated way to quickly get...

Hello, For my new Windows application, all I want is to create an initial form to demo to the user to show them how it looks like with some data on it. So I figure the fastest way is to create some comboBox-es to show some data on them manually entered in the code without connecting to the database yet. It should be simple but somehow I can't make it work. First, I drag a comboBox from the ToolBox to the form. Then,

There are many threads discussing multiple column comboboxes in .NET. We are having success with the multiple columns similar to the combobox from Access 2002 (XP). Our biggest problem is speed. In a form in Access 2002, our combobox is able to load data in a table in separate Access database...

HI I have a form with 2 comboBoxes. The first comboBox gives me a list of customers to select from. I would like to have the second comboBox populated with the names of Departments. I only want the departments listed that match the Customer selected in the first combobox. Unfortunatly the original database that the tables were drawn from (SQLServer) has one big Customers Table. It has a CustomerID for every Customer. There are multiple...

Hi! Once again I have hit a brick wall here. I have a combobox in which the user types the server name and then clicks on button 'CONNECT' to populate the next combobox which contains all the databases in that server. Then after the user selects a database, I have another button that he/she click and I want to retrieve file groups from a specific table. At this point when he/she clicks on that button I get an error:

Before anything else, I am not a very technical expert when it comes to VBA coding. I learned most of what I know by the excellent Access/VBA forum from bytes.com (formerly thescripts.com). Ergo, I will be writing this article intended for those who are in the same level, or maybe lower, of my technical knowledge. I would be using layman's words, or maybe, my own words as how I understand them, hoping, you will understand it the same way that...

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...

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,...
