from text to combo
I have an unbound form where I have text boxes to enter info to pull a
report. Everything works fine. My problem is that I want to change the text boxes to combo boxes which I did but now it does not work. The only way it works is if I keep it as text boxes. Can someone help me with this? Thanks |

from text to combo
What the use of the combo?
Check the columns of the combo, it could be, that you retreivng a different value. If the first column in the combo Row Source is an Id, but you need to use a text that is located on the second column, then you need to write Me.[ComboName].Column(1) The column number start with 0 -- \\// Live Long and Prosper \\// BS"D "brown_eyes" wrote: I have an unbound form where I have text boxes to enter info to pull a report.

Thanks for replying.
Sorry, I don't have a lot of experience with access. Where would I enter your code? The combo is used as parameters to pull reports. For example if I want a report I type in the name of the company that I want to pull the report for and I get the report, which it wasn't to convinient because you have to type it exactly the way the table has it which is why I changed it to combos. I have 4 different combos, for company name, region, state and carnegie category. Everything works fine if I leave them as text boxes but if I change it to combo it does not work. It only works the first time using one parameter not a combination of parameters and then I have to close the form and open it again in order to work for one parameter only or else I get a blank report. The combo is pulling from a table where the company name is in the second column. In the row source of the combo property I have this: SELECT [Inst Base Data 1-19-06B2].Inst_Name FROM [Inst Base Data 1-19-06B2]; "Ofer" wrote: What the use of the combo?

I don't have a code. I am not experienced with Access. Don't know much
about coding. What I did is, I pull the report by a query by form. However, when I enter the criteria on the query it changes and adds more rows and columns. The SQL is huge because of it. But it pulls the information that I want. It just does not work using the combo boxes. Here is the SQL: Its huge I hope it does not scare you!!

If in the combo box row source you have something like
Select Id, Description From TableName Then try and remve the id field if your filter is based on text Select Description From TableName ============================= Keep in mind that it's not wise to keep the text value in the main table, you should store the Id, and that incase you change the description of one of the records you want need to update the main table with the new value. -- HTH, Good Luck BS"D "brown_eyes" wrote: I don't have a code.

Check the name of the combo boxes to make sure they have the same names as
the text boxes. The query is expecting the names to be filter1, filter2, etc. -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...forms/200604/1 |

from text to combo
They all have the same name as the query. My problem now is that it only
works once. Just to run the first report. I can run the report using the combo boxes in any combination but only once. If I want to run another report I have to close the form and open it again to get it to work again. Is there something in the form's properties that can fix this problem? Thanks for replying!!

I'm not sure exactly how it is set up. If the form opens a report, then you
need a requery button that closes the report and then opens it again after you change the criteria; Private Sub btnReQuery_Click() DoCmd.Close acReport, "My Report" DoCmd.OpenReport "My Report", acViewPreview End Sub -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...forms/200604/1 |
