Combo Box Question
I have a form with combo boxes that link to a query that creates a report
based on the selections in the combo boxes. The issue I have is that I do not want the list supplied by the combo box to show duplicates. If I have a vehicle I buy parts for, I put the registration number of that vehicle in the purchase table and over a period of time, there may be several entries with the same registration number. My combo box show all the registration numbers...so if it is in there 10 times then I see it ten times in the drop down list for the combo box. I would like to only see it once. -- Ron

Combo Box Question
Ron A,
Change the "Unique Values" property of your query that is providing the list to your combo box to "Yes". ----- HTH Mr. B http://www.askdoctoraccess.com/ Doctor Access Downloads Page: http://www.askdoctoraccess.com/DownloadPage.htm "Ron A." wrote: I have a form with combo boxes that link to a query that creates a report based on the selections in the combo boxes.

What is the Combo Box's RowSource? If it's your table, then it needs to be changed to a Query that either has the Unique Values property set (as Mr. B suggests), or to a Totals query; or perhaps to a query selecting from the Registrations table which you hopefully also have, containing one record per vehicle. -- John W.
