Hello,
I need help in selecting a value from combo list thru one lookup table and update different table on MS access form.
For eg; I have a lookup table of usernames,
I need to use this lookup table in all my other forms to update different table selecting the username from my lookup table.
I tried Docmd.runsql but unable to succeed.
thanks in advance,
Senthil

What table are you trying to update? And what data are you trying to update in the table?
Have you tried making a query? Does that work?
Hi,
I have 2 tables,
1. Userlookup table
field: username
2. Project data table
field 1: project name
field 2: username
field 3: start date
field 4: end date
i created a form to fill the "project data table", i wished to have a selection option (like a drop down menu) in the username field. so i made the row source to select the username list from the "userlookup table"
but when i creat a command button for adding the values to : "project data
table " it is not working.

I assume your form is bound to your table? Just set the control source of the combo box (drop down menu) to the username field of your project table and you don't need a button to update the records, it'll update automatically.

The cboKeyword box on the frmCustomer looks up Keywords from a
separate table that have just a list of keywords and a KeyID number.
The bound column is tied to the autonumber and is saved in the

Essentially, InsertAT is broken!
For the past couple of hours, I've been getting this "Parameter name:
'-2147483550' is not a valid value for 'index'." error.
Apparently, its caused by having manually inserted a row in the table
bound to the Combo box. The InsertAt Method of adding a row just does
not work.
Hope this helps anyone with this problem.

Hi,
I'm using MS Access 2002. I have a form with a combo box built from a
query that returns one column, and that one column is the bound column.
How do you use VBA to programmatically change which row in the combo
box is selected??
I looked at the forum and the answers aren't very clear. Of course the
MS Access help file is worthless.
