Hi,
I need help with this problem as soon as possible (within a couple of days).
This is the first time I have ever used Access 2007 and therefore I am having some problems - especially as I am attempting some things I have never used in a database before this.
As you can see in the picture, I need to create a form to edit pet details. I want to use a combo box to select the owner, then (if possible) have all of the records in the PET table that match this owner appear below.
And a separate problem: The 'Name' field for each pet should be read-only. I cannot find the setting in the properties, am I missing it or is it somewhere else?
I appreciate any help. Using Access 2007 on Windows Vista.
Thanks. Please note: the owner-pet scenario is not exactly what I am doing, but is a lot easier way to illustrate/explain my problem. 
-------------
Table names are as follows: "T_OWNER" and "T_PET" Just to clarify: the problem I am having is that when I test the form (and the control source is equal to "OwnerID_T_PET" ), I select an option from the combo box (which takes it's values from the OwnerID field in the T_OWNER table) -- but the 'PetID' and 'Name' and 'Type' and 'DOB' do not change as they should.
Also, when I test the form (but this time with the control source equal to simply "OwnerID"), the form does not allow me to select a value from the list - the following message appears in the status bar: Control can't be edited; it's bound to AutoNumber field 'OwnerID'.
* OwnerID is an AutoNumber field.
PetID is a text field, as it is intended to be entered by the end-user.
If you need more information, just ask.

Change your form into a form and subform. In the main form, just have the combo box (showing all the Owners from the Owner table)
In the sub-form, have your petid, name etc, and Owner from the pet table. You can make Owner invisible. Drop the subform into the main form and then link child and master fields to Owner.
When you make a selection in the combo box, the subform will display all the pets.
To make Name read only, go to the controls properties in the sub-form and set enabled=false, locked=true.
Hope this helps

Hi,
I have two very similar forms each with a subform. The main form gets
a few fields from the user and passes this back to a query that the
subform is bound to. The requery is done when the user enters the
last qualifying field on the main form.
In one case this works fine, the subform shows the data the user wants
to update -- which means showing all the data put in previously (ie
showing this via the requery and the continuous...

I am using a class that inherits from the
DataGridTextBoxColumn.
It adds a combo box into the column where it displays a
selection of choices.
The problem I have is that when this comboBox loses focus
I lose the selected text.
And this next line isn't setting the text in the cell.
// code within the custom DataGridComboBoxColumn class
this.TextBox.Text = this.ComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString();

I have written a form, and a stored procedure to update the said form.
It really is as simple as that. A user can go into the form, update some fields and hit the update button to update the information which is stored in a SQL database.
In testing we noticed that the form was updating correctly but the update mechanism was also updating the first record of the table in the sql database every time. No error messages are on...

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.
