Filling fields from a combo box in a continuous form

72 New Member
I have a subform that's a continuous form. In it I have a combo box that fills a date field. It works great except for one thing. It fills in all the other date fields for each record and the combo box selection also. How can I apply this to only the record I'm on.

Here's my Row Source code for the combo box

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. SELECT [tblWorkOrder].[Job Number], [tblWorkOrder].[Completed Date] FROM tblWorkOrder ORDER BY [Job Number];
And here's the code for the date field control source

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. =[Combo12].[column](1)
Thanks for any help

It sounds as if the combobox is an unbound control on the form. In datasheet view any change to this control will affect all instances of the control.

Yes that is correct so I figure I need to use a bound combo box then.

That should solve your problem.

Although to some extent it will depend on when the change is being triggered.

I know there are several ways to speed up combo boxes and form loading. Most of the solutions leave rowsource of the combo box blank and set the rowsource to a saved query or an SQL with a where clause after users typed in one or several letters/digits. My problem is as follows Most of the time I need to display form in continuous format, that means the combo box will appear in each record. For example I have a form to let users view...

Hello, I have a continuous form with a combo box inside. From the combo box I can pick some values which, by the "after-update" event, change some other combo box values determined by a query. (i.e. I have some tree names and depending on what tree I pick on the other combo box I can pick its fruits and other properties) Now, mine is a continous form, and whenever I pick a value from the first combo box the second one correctly shows...

Dear Access Developers, I am developing a form with 'default view' set to "continuous forms". I am suffering with a problem I can't yet see a solution too. Each record has many fields. Two fields I would like to add a little extra functionality to are a check box and a combo box. More explicitly, I would like the 'enabled' property of a combo box control to be dependent on the value of a check box (a 'yes/no' field) in the same...

Hello, Basically, I'm running a query on a form's activation, and I'd like to have the results of the query be placed into other fields on the same form automatically. Does anybody know how this can be done? I've tried setting the default value of the text fields on the form to be equal to ! using Access' expression

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.

Hi All, I have a continuous form with all records. For each field there is a combo in the form header and the form also contains a Toggle button "Apply Filter". When clicked, it changes to "Cancel Filter". Then an SQL string with condition meeting the criteria input in the combo boxes is built. I have noticed that when certain fields are not filled in (no space, nothing), the record is simply not shown. The empty field is not necessarily...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
