combo box doesnt save

In my form based on the table Customers i have a combo box looking up
for the employees. The tables Employees and Customers are related in
one to many relationship, the primary key Employeeid in ther table
Employees is connected
with the key Employeid in the table Customers.
The combo box is looking up for values in the table Employees,but the
form is not based on this table, it is based on the tables Customers.
I can open the combo box and i can choose an employee, but the form
does not save
the this employee for a given customer.

How can i do it properly ?

If your form, based on the table customers, has a combo box of employees,
what is the control source (click on the data tab of the combo) for the
combo? If empty, set it to your employeeid field name contained in the
recordsource for the form.

Hi everybody- I inherited a database that somehow uses a bound combo box as a record selector. Let me give you some background. The form is based on data from 2 tables. The first table, Person, records info about a person. The second table, Case, records information about a person's case, almost like a human resources database. The primary key of the table, person, is his/ her social security number. The primary key of the other...

I am using the following SQL as a RowSource for a combo box on a form. "SELECT LAN, TenantName as , ShopNum as FROM qTenantSelect " The field 'ShopNum' is a text field and has a caption property set to 'Shop Number' in the table design. In the combo box though, I want to use 'Shop' as the heading (to save width) as shown in the SQL above. But the combo shows 'Shop Number' as a heading in form view.

I have a combo box on a form which is based on table tblMachine. On that combo box I have four columns visible MachineNumber, description, location and type. The bound column is the MachineNumber and this is not set to 0 as the machines have its number on which means the user should know the machine number. My problem is if the user doesn't know the number. I have a button which changes the row source of the combo box to order by...

A couple of easy questions here hopefully. I've been working on two different database projects which make use of multiple forms. 1. Where's the best/recommended placement for command buttons for things like delete, save, edit, cancel buttons - in the footer, or on the form detail section? 2. If in the footer, how do you add them to the tab order?

Hi everyone, Please let there be someone out there who can help. I have two BOUND combo boxes on a continuous form, the second being dependent on the first. I have no problem getting the second combo to change depending on what values the user selects in the first box, it's just that every time the user changes the first combobox, the second combobox FOR EVERY RECORD goes blank.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
