Set control source =[cbxName].column(2)

In the control source of a textbox, is there a way to refer to a column of a
combobox? For example:
=[CbxName].Column(2)

Thanks,
Jack

Exactly like that. Just note that the column number is zero
based.

Did you try it? If it didn't work, what happened.

It didn't work. I got the #Name error.

The cbx has three columns, column count = 3, and I need to refer to the
third column.

This is in a subform where the subform is continuous.

In the after update event of your combo box type in:

txtTextBoxName= cbxName.column( 2)

That should do it.

#Name implies that you spelled the name of the combo box
incorrectly or left out the = sign.

However, this isn't going to do what you want in a
continuous (sub)form. All copies of the text box will
display the same value because there is only one combo box
control (the current record).

Perhaps the problem is the square brackets around the combo box name.

I don't think so Doug. The expression parser seems to add
(A97) and remove (AXP) square brackets at its own whim,
regardless of how it's originally typed.

A continuous form will correctly display the 3rd column for each different
record.

Make sure the name of the control is not also the name of a field.

Thanks, Duane, for your response!

<<Make sure the name of the control is not also the name of a field.>>

Access defaults to naming a control the same as the name of the field. Why
does it have to be changed?

If you don't change it in this case, ACCESS will assume that you mean the
field to which the control is bound, not the control, and the code will
error because a field does not have a Column property.
