I'll give it a try, thanks to all -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust Sent: 19 April 2007 16:54 To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Re-query 2nd combo on subform This is normal behavior in a continuous form with a combobox. The way I've always worked around it is to put a textbox behind the combobox and make the backstyle of the combo transaparent. Both controls are bound to the same field, but when the record is not current, the value from the textbox shows through. When the combo gets the focus, the textbox is automatically hidden. Would that work for you?

Combo 1 Combo 2 now shows (list) A01 SA01, SA02, SA03 Line 2 in sub (continuous form) select... Combo 1 Combo 2 now shows (list) A01 SA01, SA02, SA03 All okay so far but....... Line 3 in sub (continuous form) select B01...and Combo 1 Combo 2 now shows (list) B01 we want SB01, SB02, SB03 to show in combo 2 (which I think does work) but on line 1 and line 2 the second combo (whilst actually retaining the correct value behind the scenes now displays a blank combo box value. There is some logic here in that combo 2 has just been re-queried using the filter main code B01 (combo 1) on the current line - the values in the combo 2 on lines 1 and 2 cannot now find/map correctly as there record source is using B01 as the filter. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Elizabeth.J.Doering at wellsfargo.com Sent: 19 April 2007 16:01 To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Re-query 2nd combo on subform 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.

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. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk --------- Original Message -------- From: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> To: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: Re: [AccessD] Re-query 2nd combo on subform Date: 19/04/07 14:08 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 -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin at Beach Access Software Sent: 19 April 2007 13:41 To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Re-query 2nd combo on subform 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?

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??
