Hi All
Can anybody pls help me out with this problem.
I have a combo box control which has about 10,000 values in it. These
values in the combo box are called from a different table.
When i use a value(1 out of 10000) in the combo box for a particular
record say Record1, this value should no longer be displayed for the
next new record say Record2 and the combo box should just display only
9999 values. I am trying to do this, just because I do not want the
data entry person to use the same combo value for two different
records.
Is it possible to do this using SQL code?
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Anita

10,000 is way too much for a good user experience. Find a way to
reduce that.
To answer your question: use a rowsource like:
select TheValue from TheSource where TheValue not in (select TheValue
from TheMainTable)

WOW! 10,000 rows in a combo? Needing to requery to combo each time you
go to a new record? And you only want to exclude the last record entry?
Interesting.
If you are using an autonumber, I guess you can get the last entry made
when the form is first opened. Then create would own SQL rowsource and
use a line like
Me.ComboRowSour ce = strSQL
Then store the comboid for each time you are in a new record. Each time
a new record is created, create the SQL string to exclude the ID from
the variable. Each time the record is saved...in the BeforeUpdate
event, check to see if the record is new and if so, store the value of
the combo to the variable.
10,000 rows? Too much.

This sounds like a case where using two "linked" listboxes may work - where
you select an item in the left listbox, and it moves the item to the right
listbox, eliminating it from the left listbox.
Roger Carlson created a good example of this. http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/

I have a usercontrol that inherits from ComboBox
I'd like to add the feature that the user can delete any item
Best would be that he could right click an element and a messagebox would
ask if he wanted to delete that element
I can't find an event that would enable me to do that.
I could copy the items into a text box, let him edit it and put them back

Fredrik, Thanks so much. That worked.
Following this, I can now see that my combo2 has no previous elements
and contains only the elements relevant to selection in combo1.
Now, as soon as I select something in combo 2 and go back to change

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
