MS ACCESS Listbox shows number instead of characters

Question

I created a form using one of my query as a source, inside that form is a list box which is also used the same query as a source. My problem is some of the fields inside the list box display's the ID number instead of character even though in the query, names are display instead of the ID. Here's a little summary of how I connect my tables. I have Device_list table, and within this table I have multiple columns and two of those columns named Device_type and Employee_ID which is referenced to Employee_details table and Device_type table. When I generate a query table from the Device_list table the result appear as per my desired output.

I don't know how do I tweak it on my list box so that I can display the Device Type and my Employee ID field as character instead of ID number.

Answer 1

最可能引起混淆的原因是您设置了包含ID的表字段，以显示其引用的字符串值。这会继续显示查询结果，而不是列表框或组合框。

在列表框源查询中，请确保您使用的字段具有希望看到的实际字符串值，而不是具有ID号的字段。

我更喜欢使用绑定的组合框而不是列表框。尝试创建一个查询，该查询显示要在组合框中显示的所有字段以及需要绑定的字段。您可以使用该查询（或复制SQL语句）作为组合框的ROW源。如果要将第一个字段作为绑定字段，但又不想显示该字段，则将“列数”设置为包括该字段，然后将“列宽”设置为从零开始。例如，如果要显示两个描述数据的字段（可能是表中的第二个字段和第三个字段），而绑定第一个字段（可能是数字字段），则可以将“列数”设置为3并设置“列”这样的宽度：0; .5“; 1”;）。使用查询作为行源可以过滤，排序等。
