In the Access form, the Settings drop-down list option can provide an easy way for the user to select a specific value. The drop-down list options can be used in various scenarios, such as selecting a country, city, product type, etc. Here's a closer look at how to set up drop-down options in the Access form.
To set drop-down list options, you first need to create a drop-down list box control. In the Access Form Designer, select the form to which you want to add a drop-down list option, then click the Design View tab and select the Form Designer option from the Tools menu.
Next, select the "Design" tab in the form designer, click on the "Drop-down List Box" tool, and draw a drop-down list box on the form.
Right-click on the drawn drop-down list box and select the "Attribute Table" option. In the attribute table, find the Row attribute and click the ... to the right of itbutton.
In the Generate Expression dialog box that pops up, you can select an option for the drop-down list box. There are a few common options:
Fixed picklist: If you want the drop-down list to have a fixed list of options, you can manually enter options directly in the Generate Expression dialog box, with each option taking up a row. For example, if you need to set up a drop-down list to select a product type, you can enter the following options:
Electronics. Furniture.
Foodstuff. Query Result: If you want the drop-down list option to be obtained from the database, you can select Query Result and enter the SQL statement of the query in the Generate Expression dialog box. For example, if there is a ** named Product Type, and there is a field named "Type Name" that stores the name of the product type, you can enter the following SQL statement to get the options:
select type name from product type.
or query: If you want the drop-down list to have options taken from another or query, you can select or query and select it in the Generate Expression dialog box. For example, if there is a product named Product Type, you can select that to get the options.
Once you have set the options, you can further set other properties such as default values, number of columns, column widths, and so on. These properties can be found and set in the attribute table.
Once you've completed the steps above, save and close the form designer. Now, when the form is running, the drop-down list box will show the options for the settings, and the user can select an option by clicking on the drop-down arrow.
With the above steps, you can set the drop-down list options in the access form. The drop-down list option can help users easily select specific values, improving the accuracy and efficiency of data entry.
