Hi, i'm making an application in Access and in the query made, i'd
like the user to fill in a parameter when opening the query (in a
report). It's much easier for the user if the parameter was a dropdown
list from which he can select, because the parameters are rather
long...
Does anyone know how to make that dropdown list?
TIA

As far as I know, the best way to do this would be to create a table
containing the values you want in you list. Create a pop-up form with a
combo box where the source is the newly created table. Then set the criteria
of your query to Forms!Your_PopU pForm!Your_Comb o.
Instead of having a command button to open the report, use the command
button to open the pop-up form. Have another command button on this form
which opens up the report. It may be an idea to add a line of code on the
"open report" command to open the pop-up form as invisible so that it
disappears when the report is run!!!
Some of the guru's may come up with a better solution but that would work!

This will involve a bit of work and some VBA coding. Basically, you create
a small form with a combobox on it which gets the values from the table.
You also have 2 buttons OK and Cancel. You create a function called
GetMyParameter( ) as String which opens the form as a dialog and the user
selects the value. Presing OK hides the form, returns the value and the
form can be closed. You can then open the query with that parameter.
Does that point you in the right direction?
I'm trying almost the same thing here, but I still cannot get it to work.
I'm trying to pass a parameter that a user selects from a combo box to a
query. My form is named 'Build' and the combo box is named 'cmbName'. I
type this into the criteria field and Access puts brackets around
everything, 'Forms!Build!cm bName.Value' becomes
'[Forms]![Build]![cmbName].[Value]' (all without the single quote of
course). I've tried every combination of bracks/no brackets that I can
think of, none work. Can someone please tell me the exact syntax for this.
thanks

Hi,
I tried this and it works OK:
SELECT MyTable.First FROM MyTable
WHERE MyTable.First=[Forms]![Form2]![cboFirst];
The 'Value' component in your statement is not needed.

Essentially, InsertAT is broken!
For the past couple of hours, I've been getting this "Parameter name:
'-2147483550' is not a valid value for 'index'." error.
Apparently, its caused by having manually inserted a row in the table
bound to the Combo box. The InsertAt Method of adding a row just does
not work.
Hope this helps anyone with this problem.
