I have a combo box with a query for a list of names etc. The table has 250,000 rows. The query returns 250,000 rows. But the list returns only 97,000 rows and then shows blank columns after that, so it appears to be returning 250,000 rows but most of them incomplete. So, I have names from A to D but nothing after that.
The table was initially an SQL rdbms table but I've imported the data directly into Access with no change in results. BTW, I have another database with a combo box on essentially the same data, and it works fine. I'm at a loss.
Any ideas?
Access 97. <sigh I know, 'tis old..
Yes, I've compacted/repaired the database.

Rather do this: have the user type the first few characters in an

or so matching rows.

I'll give that a try. The other database does indeed restrict the data by region and therefore is only about 10% of the size. Thanks for the quick response!

Do yourself a test sometime. Create a dummy form with a combo box and
select the top 10000 records. Now open the form and attempt to slide
the vertical bar of the combo. Expecting to work with 250000 rows in a
combobox is ludicrous, let alone 10000.
I suggest creating a continuous form with those records. In the header
band create a field where they can select a column to search for (if you
want to provide search options) and a field to search on the value
entered. In the footer, have 2 command buttons to select the record
or cancel the search.
When the person hits the enter key on the search field, the form filters
on that value. See the Filter and FilterOn properties in online help
for more info. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Helpful folks,
Most of my previous experience with DB2 was on s390 mainframe systems
and the optimizer on this platform always seemed very predictable and
consistent. Since moving to a WinNT/UDB 7.2 environment, the choices
the optimizer makes often seem flaky. But this last example really
floored me. I was hoping someone could explain why I get worse
response time when the optimizer uses two indexes, than when it uses
one. Some context:

Hello All,
I have Access 2003, and am trying to build a database for my small
company. I want to be able to create a word document based on the data
entered through a form. the real question is this: can Access create
the document and place it as an OLE object to the relevant table?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
