All,
I have a form (FRM_ShowAll) on which I have placed a number of
instances of the same sub-form (FRM_Assign) as different child forms
(SFRM_Agent, SFRM_Executor, etc.). The sub-form is a continuous form.
I would like to specify a different Value or Default Value for a combo
box (CB_Role) on each instance of the subform control in code. The
combo box CB_Role is fed from a lookup in the source table,
I can set the DefaultValue in the control properties of the form
object, but that makes it impossible for me to re-use the same form as
separate instances of child forms.
I've read and typed 'til I'm blurry, but I can't get it to work. I
have tried each different line of code below in the OnLoad event in
the Master form (FRM_ShowAll) and in the OnEnter event of the sub-form
(FRM_Assign). The code is being executed, but no value is being
selected.
Me.SFRM_Agent.C ontrols(CB_Role ).Value = Executor
Me.SFRM_Agent.C ontrols(CB_Role ).Value = "Executor" - Shows error Value
not in List
Me.SFRM_Agent.C ontrols(CB_Role ).DefaultValue = Executor
Me.SFRM_Agent.C ontrols(CB_Role ).DefaultValue = "Executor"
Me.SFRM_Agent.C ontrols(CB_Role ).DefaultValue = """Executor """
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Patrick

If I understand you correctly, you want a composite combobox which
reads uses a table as its source but also allows an item "Executor"
which is not in the table. The only way I know how to do this is to
change the combobox source to a list type, and manually generate the
list from the table, adding "Executor" as you go. Then attach the
list as the combobox source.
Thanks, I have that part working.
What I couldn't get working was "making the selection"
programmaticall y. I was able to work around this by placing an
unbound textbox on the Parent form, setting based on the subform the
user entered, and writing it back to the subform on the After Update
event of the child form.
I'm still interested in the proper syntax to achieve my first attempt
from an "academic" perspective, but as of 12 minutes ago, I've got
this working.

I have created two forms: frmBrowseNegsMainform and
frmBrowseNegsSubform. I put a subform control on the
first of these. The SourceObject property for the subform
control is, of course, frmBrowseNegsSubform.
I would like to perform an ascending or descending sort
on any of the 7 columns shown in datasheet view in the
subform control. I've been unsuccessful.
Is there something tricky about sorting in subform controls?

Hi all,
A subForm control, txtTotalSubForm contains a total from one of the fields

updates the details on the subForm. I want this update to pass the value in
txtTotalSubForm to a control txtMainForm, on the main form. Ive tried using
the parent property, but this is not adequate since I must click onto the
subform to trigger it (on current event of the subform)....

I have a problem I just can't figure out. I have a form with a

I've run across a couple forms where this has caused an "enter

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