Hi!
Currently my combo box contents are not in alphabetical order, and I'm
wondering if there is a way to make the contents appear in
alphabetical order when you open the combo box. How would you do this?
Many thanks!

Kevin,
Make a query or an SQL statement the Rowsource of the Combo Box.
If you use a query, sort the query by the field wanted.
If you make an SQL the rowsource, add
Order By [Somefield];
at the end.

Base the combobox on a query and sort ascending on the text field.

hi,
is it possible to change the contents of a combo box when the contents
of another are changed. for example, if i had a combo box called
garments containing shirts, trousers and hats, when the user selects
shirts another combo box called 'size' would contain sizes in relation
to shirts (ie. chest/neck size). the same would occur for trousers and
hats. when the user selects an option in the garment combo box, the
options available...

Hi,
I wonder if any one can help, I'm pretty new to Access and I can't
figure out how to change the contents of a combo box based on a
selection I make in another.
Let me explain I have a combo box where I can select a continent from
a continent table. I would like the contents of a second combo box to
reflect my choice of continent and list countries that are in that
continent. These countries are in separate tables/queries (actually...

Hi all,
From my windows form, I opened a connection to a SQL database. Now I need to

in the SQL tables. I am stuck with the code I should use to generate this
combo box. I used to use ADO to open a connection to SQL in VB6 then use Do
until EOF - Loop to loop through the recodset and the cbo.additems to place
the result of the recordset in the combo box. With...

Hi Folks,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to alphebetize the values in a combo box?
It is being populated by an SQL Query, however as the values that I am searching through are of type 'ntext' I can not do an ORDER BY in the statement (You can't do that on these values)
I was wondering if anyone had any code to sort a combo box into alphebetical order?
The combo box is called cboResults and has a bunch of text values in it.

I want to set things up such that a section of code will have been
executed by the time one clicks on the drop down arrow on a combo box
control. Currently, that section of code resides in the OnGetFocus
event of the combo box control, and this appears to work...I'm
guessing because one cannot click on the drop down arrow of a combo
box control without first having the combo box control receive focus.
But I noticed that the code gets...

Good Morning All,
I am having problems turning my Matter_Creation_Form.DOC into a Matter_Creation_Form.DOT.
Now,
Within Word, I have created a document that contains 2 Combo Boxes which, when a .DOC file, the contents of them appears fine.
I then resave the file as a template (with the extension .DOT to change it into a template) and the contents of the Combo Boxes does not appear.

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,...
