I have a form with combobox fields for various ambulance personnel: Driver, Assistant, Attendant1, Attendant2, and Attendant3. Each combobox has the LimitToList property set to "No". This form is bound to tblMembers, which includes 3 attribute flags (Yes/No fields): booMember, booMemberActive, and booMemberEMS. I have 3 queries on the table: qryMembers - returns all records where booMember=True qryMembersActive - returns all records where booMember=True And booMemberActive=True qryMembersEMS - returns all records where booMember=TrueAnd booMemberActive=True And booMemberEMS=True In the Form_Current module, I initialize the combobox fields: Driver.RowSource = "SELECT '(Show All Members)' from qryMembersActive UNION SELECT DISTINCT [FullName] from qryMembersActive" Assistant.RowSource = "SELECT '(Show All Members)' from qryMembersActive UNION SELECT DISTINCT [FullName] from qryMembersActive" Attendant1.RowSource = "SELECT '(Show All Active)' from qryMembersEMS UNION SELECT '(Show All Members)' from qryMembersEMS UNION SELECT DISTINCT [FullName] from qryMembersEMS" Attendant2.RowSource = "SELECT '(Show All Active)' from qryMembersEMS UNION SELECT '(Show All Members)' from qryMembersEMS UNION SELECT DISTINCT [FullName] from qryMembersEMS" Attendant3.RowSource = "SELECT '(Show All Active)' from qryMembersEMS UNION SELECT '(Show All Members)' from qryMembersEMS UNION SELECT DISTINCT [FullName] from qryMembersEMS" So far, so good - the code *works perfectly*. For the rest of this question, I'll only refer to one - Attendant3. In the _BeforeUpdate module, I test for the selection of the 'Show All' values, and if selected, I update the RowSource: Private Sub Attendant3_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If Attendant3 = "(Show All Active)" Then MsgBox ("Please select a valid Active Member or enter a non-Member's name (last name, first name).") Attendant3.RowSource = "SELECT '(Show All Members)' from qryMembersActive UNION SELECT DISTINCT [FullName] from qryMembersActive" Cancel = True ElseIf Attendant3 = "(Show All Members)" Then MsgBox ("Please select a valid Member or enter a non-Member's name (last name, first name).") Attendant3.RowSource = "qryMembers" Cancel = True End If End Sub My problem? I want the combobox to show a default value nothing if either of the "Show All" options is selected, but after the Cancel=True executes, control is returned to the combobox with the proper row source but with the "Show All" selection showing in the combobox. How do I blank that out? I have tried Attendant3="" and Attendant3=Null both on the line before and the line after the Cancel=True. I have run out of ideas. Any suggestions? TIA, Bob Gajewski
