And I guess you'd have to get the value to display by a Dlookup or
something, which might be pretty slow.

The only way I've ever hear of is to display the actual value in a text
box which is separate from the combo box. Sometimes this can include
hiding most of the combo box most of the time.

I understand the issue Richard, but sad to say have never found a
satisfactory solution. If I understand you right it's when the field
stored by combo2 is not the one displayed, typically the bound column is
the 1st column with a zero width. Is that right? So as soon as you
requery the combo then most records on the subform find themselves
trying to display something which is no longer in the combo's recordset
as it were. I'll be watching with interest for good ideas.

Yes combo 2 has a query source that references combo 1 e.g. combo 1 -
Activity Code... Combo 2 sub-Activity Code

When you select Activity code you want combo 2 to list all
sub-activities for that main activity code

In the After Update event of Combo1 are you requerying Combo2? What's
the row source for Combo2? Does it include the value of Combo1?

Hi

Access 97

It's been a long time since I've posted here - still take a regular
look, even though I concentrate on .net these days.
A combination of time without Access and lack of time to play around
myself..... but I have someone asking my advice.

Scenario.....timesheet screen...

header record with continuous subform details.
Two combo's on the subform....the second of which needs to be re-queried
based on the value in combo 1.
This is actioned on the after-update event of combo1.

The undesired result is that on previous records in the subform combo 2
is cleared out when combo 1 is re-queried (if the list id different say
to the current record).

I'm sure I've been here before......but can't get the solution...so all
you active MS Accessers..... any clues??

Thanks in advance
