How to make ComboBox selection save?

Greetings,
I open the "Northwind" sample data base in Access 2003. In the "Orders" form
there is a "CustomerID " combobox labeled "Bill To". I scroll thru the list
in the combobox and make a selection; that changes the appropriate fields
in the displayed record. However, when I close the form and reopen it, the
record reverts back to the original data. Even with menu choice "Save
Record" the modified data is not changed.
Is this normal data base behavior? If so, is there a non-VBA fix so that the
modified record saves?
Thanks in advance,
George

Hi
I think you will find that when you reopen the form it is set to a
different order with the same billto address. There are several orders
with the same billto addresses, and the form is sorted in alphabetic
order of billto address, so until you have changed quite a few the
form reopens with the same one.

I have a continuous form with several unbound comboboxes in the form header. The comboboxes are used to provide criteria for the SQL of the form. The code behind the form looks like: Public Sub FormSQL() Dim SQLStr As String SQLStr = < Code to build SQL String based on selection in comboboxes> SQLStr = SQLStr & ";" Me.RecordSource = SQLStr End Sub

Hi, I'm refreshing a panel based on a selection from a winforms combobox. In my _SelectedIndexChanged event for the combobox, if changes to the panel's controls are present I am checking the response from a messagebox to proceed using MsgBoxStyle.YesNoCancel. When clicking cancel on the messagebox, is there a way to have the combobox rejected the changed index and revert back to the previous selection without setting the selectedItem?...

Can I use a bound ComboBox for both browsing and editing? I'm working on a small, standalone database application using Visual C#.NET 2003 and an Access data file. In order to keep the number of different screens down to a minimum, I'm trying to use the same Windows Forms for both browsing and for updating. This works fine for TextBoxes, but I'm running into problems with my DropDownLists (ComboBoxes).

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,...
