How to select all lines from a combobox not just One by One in Ms Access
I want to select all the items in a combobox in Ms Access as you can see the combo query below is already filtered so that only the specified record can be populated.
Instead of select line by line how can I select all the in combobox since the combobox details is already filtered, it very time consuming when capturing data line by line , for example imagine a purchase order may have 2000 lines now when creating a goods received note why not selecting all the lines in the GRN combo instead of line by line until all the 2000 lines finishes surely there must a way. (Selecting all mean all the data will populated as captured in the datasheet , example all the 2000 lines will show captured rather than selecting one by one)

SELECT tblPurchasesDetailslines.PurchaseOrderID, tblPurchasesDetailslines.PurchaseID, tblProducts.ProductID, tblProducts.ProductName, tblPurchasesDetailslines.Quantity, tblPurchasesDetailslines.CostValue, tblPurchasesHeader.StatusStore
FROM (tblPurchasesDetailslines INNER JOIN tblProducts ON tblPurchasesDetailslines.ProductID = tblProducts.ProductID) INNER JOIN tblPurchasesHeader ON tblPurchasesDetailslines.PurchaseID = tblPurchasesHeader.PurchaseID
WHERE (((tblPurchasesDetailslines.PurchaseID)=[Forms]![frmGrn]![CboOrder]) AND ((tblPurchasesHeader.StatusStore) Is Null Or (tblPurchasesHeader.StatusStore)<>"2"));Instead of select line by line how can I select all the in combobox since the combobox details is already filtered, it very time consuming when capturing data line by line , for example imagine a purchase order may have 2000 lines now when creating a goods received note why not selecting all the lines in the GRN combo instead of line by line until all the 2000 lines finishes surely there must a way.

Which event should I put this code?
I think you have point here!
Regards
Chris
DoCmd.GoToControl "TheNameOfYour_Subform" ' Just replace it with the name of the subform.
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectAllRecords
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy I think you have point here!
Regards
Chris
Just put it in an event...probably a button
Here is the error message it say command NOT available for copying
Private Sub CboOrder_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.GoToControl "sfrmGrnDetails Subform" ' Just replace it with the name of the subform.
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectAllRecords
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
End Sub
I think it should be
DoCmd.GoToControl Me.sfrmGrnDetails Subform 
Christopher,
I don't know what combo box you are talking about, I only see two on your form, but you cannot select multiple items from a combo box, only a listbox.
Can you circle the combo you are talking about in your screen shot?

Ok see the screen shoots
Kindly check the parent form is showing 21 and the subform is also showing 21

This code works...tested right now
Private Sub CboOrder_AfterUpdate()
Me.sfrmGrnDetails_Subform.SetFocus
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectAllRecords
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
End Sub
Still there are errors see screen shoot
You are missing something...i have just tested the code and it works as it should....put a breakpoint to see where and why it fails..
SelectAllRecords would select all the Records on a Form, not a combo.
It seems to me you want to populate your subform with all records with all the records available based on user selection. I'm not sure how your Form and Subform are setup, but when you select the Order Number in the Parent form, you should fill the Subform with all the Orders related to that Order Number. You could then use SelectAllRecords as John suggests.

The error point is coming from the time when I select the update combox called CboOrder, this where people are expected to select the Purchase order in question so that it populate in the subform of the GrNlinedetails.
For example when you select the Purchase order number (PK) from the parent form then the details of the purchases order must populate in the GRN data sheet or subform.

Have you copy/pasted my code ? exactly
Have you set the Master and Child linking fields to the correct values? If you do that, Access should take care of the rest for you, and you should then be able to use SelectAllRecords.
Exactly as see screen shoot
Your code is failing because you don't have actually any data on the subform...as soon there are some data it would work nicely...just tested.

What do mean the form is properly linked to parent form without issues sir!

No the data is hidden in the combo called PurchasesID , all I want is to have it visible NOT start selecting it again, the selection that is done from the parent combo should populate the subform , but what is happen the subform will only have the data hidden in the combobox Called purchaseID until it is selected manually.
That is too time consuming imagine you have 2000 line to start selecting manually????????????????

The code below will make the combobox dropdown open, but I want the content to be captured or INPUT in the data not just to visible:

Private Sub purchaseID_GotFocus()
'When the combo box receives focus
'display in drop down position
Me.purchaseID.Dropdown
End SubRegards
Chris
you missed my comment...
The code below display the exactly data that need to be inputed in the same cells . Please check where there is pepsi , shavel etc
Are we saying there is no way ?
Private Sub CboProducts_GotFocus()
'When the combo box receives focus
'display in drop down position
Me.CboProducts.Dropdown
End SubAre we saying there is no way ?
Do you mean that the subform isn't going to get populated ?
That you just want to capture the "filtered" combobox?

This is a totally different case.....are you sure that you are working to work like this...?
If understood your workflow then you rapidly input items via barcode....then the subform oughts to get populated...

No Sir
This is just a goods received note using the data from the purchase order we do not want to recapture the same data manually that is why when we filtered the targeted purchase order its content must populate in the the GRN subform automatically inputed.

If its the combobox then what exactly and why you are trying to copy ?
I will guess that you have e.g. 10 sales items on order 21....this should be written to the source of the combobox...so just make a query and use this to populate the subform...i am pretty sure i have some code in one of your older questions ...(i am also pretty sure you picked something else as the solution .... :) )

Kindly note these sales transaction but purchases
Before we buy we send a purchase order to the supplier of goods
When we receive the goods we create the goods received note which will have the exactly details as per purchases order.
That is why we DO NOT need to start recapturing again the GRN

So you already have the data in purchase order (?)
Just perform a simple INSERT to the Source of the Subform....to populate it...
you want to keep minimum data...just add a table/field that the data from the purchase order are also belonging to the goods received note.
And when you say "copy" where are you going to "paste" ?
