Combo Box question

Here is my situation:

I have two tables linked together in a many-to-many relation through an
interum table. It looks like this...

Title TitleTopic Topic
----- ---------- -----
TitleKey-------| TitleTopicKey |--------TopicKey
TitleName |-----TitleID | TopicName
CreationDate TopicID------------| CreationDate
etc... etc...

I have two combo boxes. The first shows all records in the Title table,
no problem there. I want the second combo box to display the related
records in the Topic table based on what the user selects in the first
combo box. How do I go through the interum table to get the related
selection of the Topic table loaded into the second combo box??

Thanks!

Change the table and field names as needed.

Leave the rowsource of the 2nd combo box blank.
Code the AfterUpdate event of the 1st combo box to fill the rowsource
of the 2nd.
Something like this:
Combo2.Rowsourc e = "Select Instructors.Ins tructorID,
Instructors.Ins tructorName from Instructors Where Instructors.Cla ssID
= " & Me!ComboName & ";"

Change the table and field names as needed.
The above assumes ClassID is a Number datatype and the combo box bound
column is Number also.

Let's say in the product table I have around 50,000 products (well, infact it has now about 2000 only, but it's growing very fast, hence the question here) In the order form, users will select the product for the order lines. They want to see the entire list of available products. You can't handle the combo the way you've heard: limiting rowsource until first few characters entered, because - the product primary key is an autonumber

Hello all, Here is my situation. I have a combo box on a form. The combo box is linked to a qry (qryCustomers) and the form is linked to tblOrders.

My question arises in that I would like to know if there is a way to initiate a new record (in my customers table) when a user types a value in the combo box that isn't in the list. Let me...

Hi, Can anyone tell me how the initial value displayed in Combo Box is determined when a form is opened? I am loading the dropdown from one field ("CategoryName") of a table, with "ORDER BY ". The values in the dropdown are loaded in the correct order, but the initial value is not the first row of the dropdown as I expected. The field "CategoryName" is not the primary key for the table -- the PK is

Hi everyone, Please let there be someone out there who can help. I have two BOUND combo boxes on a continuous form, the second being dependent on the first. I have no problem getting the second combo to change depending on what values the user selects in the first box, it's just that every time the user changes the first combobox, the second combobox FOR EVERY RECORD goes blank.

Hi, I'm using MS Access 2002. I have a form with a combo box built from a query that returns one column, and that one column is the bound column. How do you use VBA to programmatically change which row in the combo box is selected?? I looked at the forum and the answers aren't very clear. Of course the MS Access help file is worthless.

Here are the other 2 questions I have. I forgot to mention I am on Access 2003/Windows XP. The second and third question I have is on Combo box. Can a combo box be used to access several documents on the network drive (U) or any other location? For example from the drop down list there are 3 options. Weekly figures Monthly figures Quarter figures Each one of these would open the related word or excel document.

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

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,...
