Combo/List Box in Query Question/Problem

I have created form, query and report.

In the form I have a Combo Box which pulls the search criteria
(SaleStatus) from one of my tables. When I select a status and click
on the search button it should run the query and then preview the
report.

The form is an unbound form with the row source type set to
table/query. The row source is a select statement pulling the data from
the table. The Name of the combobox is SaleStatus.

The search button has the following code attached to the on click
event:

Private Sub cmdSEARCH_Click ()
DoCmd.OpenRepor t "rptPROPERT Y", acViewPreview
End Sub

The query has the following code in the criteria:
[forms]![fmPROPERTY]![SaleStatus]

Here is what is happening.

If I change the box to a text box and manually type in the status and
click on the command button, the report is previewed with the correct
information being displayed.

If I however, use a Combo Box or a List Box, the data in the previewed
report is blank.

What am I not doing correctly here...

Thanks,

Ray.

forget the query and just pass the filter directly in the Open event of
the report.
Sounds like you may have multiple columns in your textbox and you can't
see one of them. check the column count. Make sure you're referencing
the right one.

Listbox... hmm... check www.mvps.org - there's an article there on how
to filter report results based on what's selected in a listbox.

You are correct, when the wizard set up the listbox (and the combo box)
it set up both the index and the content field and bound the first
column (the index ( a hidden column). I changed the bound column to 2
and it works magically.

Thanks for the suggestion, it helped.

I know there are several ways to speed up combo boxes and form loading. Most of the solutions leave rowsource of the combo box blank and set the rowsource to a saved query or an SQL with a where clause after users typed in one or several letters/digits. My problem is as follows Most of the time I need to display form in continuous format, that means the combo box will appear in each record. For example I have a form to let users view...

The solution to my dilemma seems straight-forward, yet my mind has not been forthcoming with a direct route.

My challenge lies with the task sub-form which links to the Project form through ProjID. The task record links back to the respective master...

Hi Everyone- I have a question about how to add and then use the "All" selection in a combo box. I am trying to figure out how to: (1) add "All" as a selection to a combo box and then (2) how to use the selection "All" as criteria for a field in a query, which is used to generate data for a report.

I have a form with two combo boxes. The value chosen in the first combo box (cbo1) is supposed to change the values that appear in the second combo box (cbo2). This currently works great for the first record entered by the user (continuous forms). However in the second record, cbo2 shows the values influenced by cbo1 in the first record, rather than the 2nd record (i.e. it doesn't update). My problem may be that both combo boxes have...

I want to set things up such that a section of code will have been executed by the time one clicks on the drop down arrow on a combo box control.

But I noticed that the code gets...

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,...
