Combox not getting into edit mode
Hi,
I have the following problem. I have a form with a subform on it. On the subform I have a bounded combo box. The combo box is pulling up the correct data. But if I want to edit the data through the combo box it will not get into edit mode (the little pencil). The rowsource of the combobox is retrieved through the row source property. Where am I going wrong? Regards -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...forms/201004/1 |

The rowsource of the combobox is retrieved through the row source property. Where am I going wrong? Check: 1) the reecord source of your subform, it must be updatable. 2) whether you main form or your subform have set the AllowEdit property to false. 3) whether your subform control is not active or locked. 4) your ComboBox control for the same properties. mfG -- stefan -- |

Do you mean that you're trying to edit the values *in the Combo Box control itself*? If so, you can't; combos are not subforms, are not editable and aren't the right tool. Please clarify... -- John W. Vinson [MVP] |

Combox not getting into edit mode
I just want to select a record with the combobox.
My problem seems to be different than I tought initialy. It looks like it is not comming in the change() event. I've also tried to trigger the click() event but also without any result. John W.

Combox not getting into edit mode
If you mean you want to select a record in the combo box so that you can go
to that record, the combo box should be unbound. The combo box wizard can help you set that up. janiotjoeawie wrote: I just want to select a record with the combobox.

Combox not getting into edit mode
I've solved the problem. I was focussing on the combobox. In fact is was the
subform/subreport property locked that was on yes. Changed it to no and I can select the values in the combobox.
