Combo Box Controlling a subform

1 New Member
Hey,

I have a combo box based on a table. It has two columns; The key which is hidden and the name of a location. On the form there is a subform which has a number of fields for equipment. This is based on another table. However, the tables are linked via a relationship. What I would like is when I select a locaton from the combo it changes the fields in the subform to match the location. Im not sure how to embed the query in my subform or how to take the ID from the drop down and embed it in some sort of global variable??

So Select * from tblEquipment where frm_Till-Equipment.combo _Location.Locat ion_ID = 'Variable';

Thanks

Is the main form bound to a table? And is the combobox bound to a field in that table? If so, set the subform object's master fields to the field in the main table and set the child fields to the field of the other table.

Remember, the subform object, not the source for the subform, they're different.

I have a form (frm_MAIN_RPT) that contains a combo box (Combo6) & subform (dbo_REQ_subform). The combo box is used to select the "cost center" data that will be displayed in the subform. From there, I have a button that runs a report based on which item I select in the subform. 1. The Combo Box correctly displays the list of cost centers within the combo box. 2. The subform, when opened separately, correctly displays the data for the...

I read, and grokked the following thread: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread577386.html and it worked for me initially. However, I tried using it on a an AutoForm generated form, which contains a subform, and it no longer works! I'm not sure what's going on - it is complaining about not being able to find the subordinate control from the master combo box's event script. When I try to enter the second (i.e. dynamic) combo-box, I...

So I have a subform that lists the various items on a particular invoice. First, the user selects a product class from the Class dropdown. This is bound to the Class field in the InvioceLines table. The rowsource for the combobox is: ClassName, ClassID, ClassSort from the Class table, with the bound column set to ClassID.

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...
