Ghosts in Multiselect listbox

1 New Member
I've got a form that uses a multiselect listbox. When a user is selected from a combo box, values are populated into this listbox associated with that user.

The problem is, if one person has say 10 entries in the listbox, and selects the last 3-4, and the next user only has 2 entries, those last 3-4 rows are still highlighted in the listbox. This introduces null values into my code which is definitely not good.

I've tried using beforeupdate and onclick events for the combo box - but they don't seem to execute at the right time (before the new information is loaded). Does anyone have any ideas for me?

(No, Exorcisms are not an option)

Thanks :)

In the Before Update of the Combobox try putting Me.refresh.

If that doesn't work put it before the code that requeries the listbox which I assume is in the comboboxes after upate event.

I am trying to write various items from a multiselect list box to an SQL statement to update a report, without success. SQL only appears to accept hard-coded data or control values from a form, not variable data. Any clues as to how I can write several items to an SQL statement from a multiselect listbox to update a report? Thanks in anticipation Cassie

Hello world: I'm using Access 2003. I have 2 listboxes. One is a single column. The other has two columns. I can use Dev Ashish's code (thanks Dev!) from the Access MVP Website to accumulate the values from the bound column of a MultiSelect listbox, so that I can include them in a SQL query that will then be the recordsource for a report. This gives me 2 of the 3 values I need to put into the SQL query. However, I can't get the non...

Hello, The details are below, but I have a simple form (Form1) with two objects and a "search" command button. When the two objects are cascading combo boxes (the form creates the parameters for a query - Query1), the query returns my results proper. But when the two objects are cascading combo-then-multiselect listbox (the perferred format in this case), the query always returns zero records. Tables: COMPILE (contains the records to be...

Hi all, I was wondering whether somebody might be able to help me with a question I have on a MS Access Database I'm building. I have created a search form with a few multiselect listboxes. What I'd ultimately like is for the selection(s) in one listbox to filter the second listbox, but am struggling to find a way to do this. I have looked at some of the other solutions on this forum but not been able to find one that works on my database....
