Heello, I'm using Access 2000. I have a form with a combo box that has
a query as its row source and it's bound to column 1. This combo box
is unbound to a record like the rest of the form fields. I get a number
ID (12345) as the value when I choose it. I use code to save my record
and I have no problem with that.
The issue comes when I need to add a character (a letter B,M, or E, to
the number selected in the combo box so instead of looking like 12345
it should be B12345. I have an after update event that takes care of
this, but I get an error that says "The valued entered isn't valid for
this field" whenever I update my combo box.
I've tried different ways to add that letter to the number chosen, but
I haven't been successful. If I change the letter to a number, lets
say 9 instead of B, the combo box does not have a problem displaying
the new value '912345'.
How can I make this combo box an alpha field instead of a numeric only
field so I can add that letter to the chosen value? I set the Limit to
List property to No and it still does not work.
Any help would be appreciated it.
Cheers.

What is the data type of the field that your code updates?

Hi Keith, it's an integer data type. However, I believe I just solved
this problem.
First of all, I found out I needed only 1 letter (B) not 3, so I
included it when selecting from the row source:
SELECT "B" & [theNumericID] AS Expr1 FROM [thequery];
That solved the need to alter the chosen numeric ID with an afterupdate
event. The letter gets embedded before choosing it. That's what I
needed.
Thanks for your fast response anyway.

Hi,
I am new to .Net.
I am using a Combo Box in my windows forms. I am adding the items by
creating the instances and adding the same to the list.
My questions/doubts are:
1. If I have 25 to 30 options in each combo box and like that if we have 6
or 7 combo boxes in a form, isnt it a problem in creating that number of
instances everytime the form is opened/activated
2. How do I dispose the Combo Box items.
