How to make ComboBox selection save? - Microsoft Access / VBA

George Raetz

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.

VB.NET ComboBox _SelectedIndexChanged

by: MachuPicchu | last post by:

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.

Bound ComboBox for browsing _and_ editing?

by: Frnak McKenney | last post by:

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).

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

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

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

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,...
