Combo Box won't let me choose the values in it
Access 2007
I have a combo box that shows all 40 selections inn it but it won't let me select any of them. Even on the bottom left corner it says "record 1 of 1" instead 1 of 40 etc... Property Sheet Control Source =[WeeksOut] This is my primary key adn the field I want the lookup to happen on Row Source: SELECT [West 09].WeeksOut, [West 09].Exhibitors, [West 09].Retail, [West 09].Cancels, [West 09].Attendees, [West 09].RegFeeRevenue, [West 09].OptionFeeRevenue FROM [West 09] ORDER BY [West 09].WeeksOut; Source Type = Table/Query Bound Column = 1 Limit to List = Yes Allow Value List Edits = Yes Enabled = Yes Locked = No Auto Expand = Yes I can't seem to figure out what I'm missing here.

Combo Box won't let me choose the values in it
Besides the combo box with the "WeeksOut" values I also have 7 text boxes set
to return the value of each field based upon the criteria selected in the combo box. Those aren't updateable. Their control source is: =[cboSelectWeeksOut].[Column](2) Each source goes up in column number to associate with the correct column in the combobox query. Did I explain that correctly?

Now, those text boxes that have their controlsources set to expressions beginning with "=" are calculated controls, meaning that their values are calculated as the result of an expression, and so are not updatable. But your combo box itself, cboSelectWeeksOut, should not be a calculated control. When you posted its controlsource before, you wrote: "Control Source =[WeeksOut]". Did you mean that the equals sign ("=") was part of the controlsource? If that's so, remove the equals sign to change the controlsource to: [WeeksOut] Tell me if that makes the combo box updatable. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP Access tips: www.datagnostics.com/tips.html (please reply to the newsgroup) |

Good catch. Althought I changed it and it didn't make that combo box
updateable. "Dirk Goldgar" wrote: "jbreyare" wrote in message ...

Combo Box won't let me choose the values in it
I did also notice that when I take the "=" sign out and try to select a value
from the combo box the bottom left of the screen says "control cannot be edited; its bound to unknow field '[WeeksOut]'. Now I don't know why it's saying unknown field.

Please check the table's design view, and see whether "WeeksOut" -- spelled exactly like that -- is the name of a field in the table. If it isn't, change the controlsource of the combo box on the form to the actual name of the field. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP Access tips: www.datagnostics.com/tips.html (please reply to the newsgroup) |

Combo Box won't let me choose the values in it
Ok, I think i'm changing how I'm going to do this.
The Combobox has values in it from 1-40 like it should ANd I'm able to select on them. However, when I select one of the values the other text boxes in my form do not populate with any information. Ideally, i would like to have that information bee filled in with the corresponding row values for the combobox selection. On top of that I would like to be able to edit that information and then update the table's corresponding rows. One problem I'm running inot is that when I select a value in the combobox and then enter information into the other fields, it thinks I'm trying to enter another value into the combobox. I don't want another value, I want to update that specific record. "Dirk Goldgar" wrote: "jbreyare" wrote in message ...
