Filling A Combo Box From MS Access?
Apr 29, 2009
I'm trying to get a combo box to fill itself from a MS access database field but I can't get it to work. I can get it to work at school but not at home. Also can't get a program that worked at school to work here so I'm guessing that somewhere there is something blocking the connection to the database. I've gone into the MS access trust center and looked at the settings there but I can't see anything that would be stopping it. I just need to find that setting (if it is indeed a setting) wherever it is and fix it so that I can access my database. I am not using visual basic from access I am accessing access through visual basic.
I can't get it to work with an ADO connection, either. Also when preview data via clicking smart arrow on the combo box then going to preview data I can see the data just fine. Also I just noticed I get two lines in my output after the file is run that say "A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Data.dll" I don't get these lines if I comment out all the code for the combo box.

I then started to try it the coded way, got the database linked but it only shows the first name in the database, how do i get it to show all the names in the database?
this is the code for the form

I am trying to fill a combo box using a dataset and data adapt. I am struggling too work out how to do it. I thought it would have been easy but I was wrong. i can set the text to read the first line of the colomn but nothing else. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with what I have to do. I think I have to increment inc and add a line underneath but I don't know how to do that
comboMaps.Text = datSet.Tables("TheLastShot").Rows(inc).Item("Maps")

my attempt at coding:
Do
ComboBox.ObjectCollection.Equals(ds.Tables("TTDB").Rows(inc).Item("GroupID"))
inc = inc + 1

I'll start off with a brief explanation of my situation. I'm doing my A-Level coursework project at the moment and am having some difficulty trying to figure something out. My project is a VB.NET Program that connects to a Database to display/add/delete/update records. At the moment I am having trouble with one particular thing which must be solved before I can move on (and the deadline is fast approaching).
I have a combo box which contains a list of different item types (Which match up to the item types used in the database, but it is not filled from the database). When the user selects one of these options, the list box below must fill with all items of that type that are in the database.
Unfortunately I'm at home so I can't get access to my coding, but I can try to explain what I've tried. I've tried so many things after trawling though what seems like endless amounts of tutorials to find an answer.
One thing that is used in pretty much all of them is the SQL string to select the needed records;
"SELECT ItemName FROM Stock WHERE ItemType = Anime"
Now, this has been used many different ways. I think the way that I'm trying at the moment is to create a new data set that contains the records that are needed for the search. There is already a data set that contains the whole table that is needed for this particular form. I think my most recent attempt was trying to copy the relevant information from the original data set to the new one, but I can't get any coding that isn't incorrect.

The SQL string won't return data from Access. I've tested this exact SQL String in Access and it works fine.First of all, Am I getting a SQL query from Access in the proper manner?Second... should I be using a stored procedure for this? Or is making a query from tables like this a good practice? Third, if I'm doing it right, why won't Access query return and fill my dataset?These are the results I'm getting.
Connection State = 1
Tables in Dataset = 0
Where am I going wrong?
SQL:
SELECT PageSetupData.Size, PageSetupData.Category,
PrinterList.Location, PageSetupData.isPlotter, PrinterList.LocationSuffix,
PaperSizeData.PrinterName, PrinterList.HasAltPrinter, PageSetupData.SetupTitle,

I have an access query which plays flawlesly in Access.I want to use it as a source for a datagridview i use in one of my forms but....given the fact that is a rather big query with some "like" and conditions like ">3" and so on AND the fact it uses tables from 3 different mdb (not to mention is bases on other queries...i 'ill try my best to fix this) what is the best approach .
1st case .Can i retrieve the data simply with NO oledbparameteres and NO " select * xxx where yyy like 'd' ".I think there is a issue with the Oledb connection that "omits" them.To explain better the query right now with the filters in access returns 3 rows, without the filters 30 rows,can i get just the 3 rows to do my job... 2nd case . How should i fill a datagridview using tables from 3 different mdbs.If you can show me an example it would be life saving.

I am trying to populate a listbox from access (and later SQL 2008) that will display all item names that are marked yes in another column. It is a validation for verifying whether or not it needs to be displayed. I am using the databinding method in the properties window and I am not sure how to do this without coding.

I have a combobox that is bound to a BindingSource that contains a custom object with multiple Properties.
Is there a way to access a Datamember that is not displayed in the combo box and display it elsewhere. For example, When a user selects a name from the combo box, texboxes (or Labels) populate with Title, PHone, email, etc. All of this data is loaded in the custom object that is bound to the datasource so the info has already been pulled from the db and is in memory.

I'm trying to bind a combo box to a Access database field. I'm trying to do this with code instead of using the data sources wizard as I was told that this would be more flexible and better if distributing the finished program to other computers.
The result is that the form runs, but nothing is in the combo box.
I have also not used a dataset in my code, only a data table. Am I correct in thinking that this is plausible?

I am teaching myself VB, and when I first managed to do what the post title says, I ended up with a combo box filled with values from the column of a table in a linked db. But later when I updated the VB Form and tried linking the database on this revision of the project,and then added the details to the combo box where to read the values and run the form, nothing displays in combo box. Here is what I did:In the IDE of VB, I went to "Add New Data Sources" -> Database -> New Connection -> Browse -> (selected filename of db) -> Next -> Select "yes" (put in current project) -> Next (save connection name) -> tick boxes for tables in database to connectThen in combo box control properties i set the Data Source (Other Data Sources -> Project Data Sources -> (dataset name) -> Table Name

What I am "trying" to do is to take a combo box control on my form, and load it up with data from an access db, but I dont want them to be linked so that when I change the combo box to another value it will cahnge record data. From the pics attached I have manage to load the data into the combo box, but the 2 are linked and when I try to change the combo box it creates violations in the database as its trying to change the records.

I am using VB 2008 Express to connect to an Access 2007 database. I have a combo box that is populated by the database. When I used the Access report VBA, I used the AfterUpdate() event to calculate a sum and place the results in a text box. I need to know how to do the same operation in VB 2008 Express using the SelectedIndexChanged event of the combo box.
The combo box is called "cboYearMonth" and is populated by my database, this is working correctly.
The text box that I want the calculated results to appear in is called "ExactPagesTextbox"
I have a query in Access called "JobTypeExact_Query" that contains all the pages that I need. What I need to do is calculate the total number of "Pages" limited to the YEARMONTH selected in the combo box. YEARMONTH is a value in every record in this query.

I am a bit stuck with coding my save button and combobox.My entire form is ready, database is linked.All fields from DB are linked to their textboxes on the form.But i just ran into a big wall which i cant seem to break down.My save button, which is used to save the content from all the textboxes on the form to the access database refuses to work.The other this is, i want to use a combobox on my form to view the already saved entries in the access database.I think a combobox works for that, but i am not exactly sure how to pull that one off.

I am building a form in access database.
I have a combo box which is linked to a query which is looking up a unique reference number from a table called Tbl_Submitted_Requests.
What I need the form to do is auto populate the other text boxes when the user selects the unique reference from the combo box. How can I get the text boxes to auto populate with the data that is associated with each unique reference?

I started a forms solution in VB 2008, created a datasource to an access database (2010) and used the datagrid view to display the data. 3 fields in the access database are lookup fields with 2-8 values each, typed in by me, since the linking to other fields did not work. This is not working either. When I change the column to combo-box or not, those values, typed into access, are NOT showing up in the datagrid. the combo box has its drop down arrow but the value fields are empty.
