Filter one combo box based on another

I have tried to filter one combo box based on a selection in another
combo box, by using the following sample code:
tblfield=forms![formname]![fieldname]. However, the combobox only
seems to recognise the first record, not the current record in order
to limit the list? Any suggestions?

Thanks in anticipation

Hi, I have a form based on a table. When I filter the form I want to run a report based on the same table with the same filter as the form. No problem until I want to filter a combo box where the text value is on a different table. The me.filter is then a text instead of the id-number from the lookup table. This causes the report to prompt for the parameter. How do I get by this problem? Do I need to create a temporary table? I rather...

Hi all! My (relatively small) database holds data on staff members and the projects (services) that they are assigned to. In my form frmStaff, I have a list of staff members - it is a continuous form. Each staff member is linked to a Service through a many-to-many relationship, using a junction table called jctStaffServices. I would like to place a Combo Box in frmStaff where you can 'filter' staff by the Service (i.e. ServiceName)...

I am in the process of upgrading an Access database to SQL Server (and climbing that learning curve!). The wizard happily upgraded all the tables and I can link to them OK using ODBC. The application controls allocation of revisions to aircraft maintenance manuals for an airline type operation.

Hi All, I'm a newbie in terms of Access and some of its functionality . I've been stuck on this problem for a couple days, even after searching the Web, etc. Currently I have five combo boxes (actually list boxes) that are multiselects in my main form. I need to use these combo boxes to filter a subform within my main form. My combo boxes are as follows: 1. A - 4 select options 2. B - 10 select options 3. C - 4 select options

I've garnered so much knowledge from this forum over the years, it's nice to present a solution that I couldn't find here. I have a form that my users wanted to filter, using the right-click Filter By or Filter Excluding, etc. I have a check box which my reports look up,...

MS Access 2003, Windows XP SP2, VBA I have a continuous form that allows edits and filters, but not deletions or additions. I filter the form based on combining selections the user makes in several combo boxes on the form. The filter is updated whenever the user changes his/her selection. My problem is when the user selects a filter option that is not present in the data. The filter works fine - no records are displayed; however, the...

I am doing the very standard thing of filtering the contents of one combo box based on another combo box. I've done it many times, but always on a main form. Now I'm trying to do it on a datasheet subform and it is not working. After making the selection in the first combo box, when I move to the second combo box, I get the Access input parameters box. If I input the value that is in the first combo box, I get the expected results in the second...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
