Bounding a combo box to a record
I am trying to create a combo box or a list that the users can select from.
The list is the same for each record but I would like each selection to be independent of the other records. Example, I have 105 records and the user is supposed to go into their particular record and update the status as "On Track, Off Track...." When I tested out my combo box, I selected "on track" for my first record and all of the other records changes to "on track". Please help... |

Bounding a combo box to a record
Sarchie,
This would indicate that the combobox is unbound. That means that the Control Source property of the combobox is blank. You need to set the Control Source of the combobox to the name of a field in the table/query that the form is based on, in particular the field that the Status for each record will be recorded into. If there is currently no such field, you will first of all need to go to the design view of the table and add a field for this purpose. -- Steve Schapel, Microsoft Access MVP sarchie wrote: I have checked all of my properties and I still cannot select from my combo box.

What's the Recordsource for the form? It sounds like you have an unbound combo, or that you don't have a field in the table into which to store the status. John W. Vinson [MVP] |
