Hello all,
I am fairly new to Access. I have a decent understanding of database concepts from working with sql developer and Oracle's APEX. In MS access, I would like to know how to populate a list from a list of values (maybe a combobox in Access?) On my form, I have a combobox that has values from a "Letters" table, which is A-Z. I would like to know how to populate a listbox/combobox to retreive Employees names (Last name, First, name) based on the chosen letter in the first combobox (is this called cascading?).
I guess a more straight-forward question would be 'Is this possible to do in a sql statement, or would it have to be done in VBA by calling the objects and so forth?'
Here's a pic just to clarify: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/ima...76a363eac5.jpg
I would like to be able to do the same thing with the dept# there as well. The user would select a Dept# and the list box would populate the names according to those in the selected department.
I have taken classes in Java, C++, and SQL/Oracle so don't hesitate to get a litle technical.
Any links, info, tips, or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
LordRahl

Hi everyone,
Please let there be someone out there who can help.
I have two BOUND combo boxes on a continuous form, the second being
dependent on the first. I have no problem getting the second combo to
change depending on what values the user selects in the first box, it's
just that every time the user changes the first combobox, the second
combobox FOR EVERY RECORD goes blank.

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:

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,...
