I have synchronized combo boxes linking Account Type with Customer
Names based on the template that Microsoft has in one of its samples
databases. There are the appropriate relationships between the Account
Type Table and the Customer Name Table based on the ID field, so it is
the ID field which is stored in the main table. However, in the form,
the Account Type and Customer Name are displayed because the column
width property has been changed to hide the other columns. But, when it
comes time to create reports, it is the ID field that comes up whereas
I need the text equivelent of the Account Type and Customer Name to be
displayed. How do I replicate what is on seen on the form in a report.
I suspect it would be done with a special query which would be the
source for the report, but do not know what method to use to get text
equivelent of each of the two fields.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Miguel,
Have u already try to use the code DLookup? I think it will do what u
need.
Dear Egidio,
I hadn't thought of using that function and will give it a go. Many
thanks.

On a report you can also have a combo box to display the account type
text or the customer name instead of the id number. When it is
displayed in print the combo will not show up as a combo but will show
the text instead of the id. On the combo box make the combo have two
columns id and text, make the column size 0;3 for example so the text
appears and the id is hidden.

Many thanks for your suggestion. I apologize for not responding sooner,
but was on holiday. It worked beautifully and has solved all my
problems.
Kindest regards,

I know that this is an age old question and it has been approached a
few times, but I've hit a wall and require some help.
I have various combo boxes that contain values that are both "current"
and "not current". The problem is if you try to limit the drop down to
only the "current" values then your old records show a blank if the
field contains a "not current" value.
One of the solutions I have found is this:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
