Combo Box not selecting for some users

Kaz

Hi,

I have an Access 2002 database that is accessed by multiple users on a
win 2003 server usually in a terminal services envronment.

I have a couple of users who unexpectedly cannot know access records
via combo boxes. The combo populates but the mouse cannot select a
record with a click and neither can the arrow buttons or the enter key
work. one user is in the administrator group so I would not think it
is permissions related or is it?

This happens for all combo boxes within the form. The users can select
records from the record selectors.

I have had this problem before and have recreated the database and all
seems well, but I do not want to go through hours of work recreating
the database.

Any ideas

This happened to me the other day. Look at the form properties for
Allow Edits and Allow additions.

Allow Edits and Allow additions.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -
Allow Edits and Allow Deletions are yes

As I say, it works for about ten users but two it does not!!!

Thanks for reply

Acc97. I have a form which within a subform records machine down time. I have a total of 8 machines. (1-2-3 ect.) What I have been doing is using a combo box linked to the record table to select, the reasons based upon generic terms. The problem is that I have so many records now, that it takes more time looking and picking out the correct fault reason than it does completing the rest of the form!

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...

Hi all, I was hoping someone could provide a little direction for me with this problem. I have three reports already made, we'll call them myRpt1, myRpt2 and myRpt3, in my Access db, and I want to be able to fill a combo box on a form with these three values and be able to select one for viewing in this manner. I'm not sure how to bring in each of the reports and treat them as objects for the combo box. Any ideas? Thanks in

Hi, Can anybody recommend a combo box control (textfield + dropdown list) for ASP.NET? I have looked at some products and it seems they all have some problems. I haven't yet found a combo box control that works on IE, Firefox and Opera. I am open to commercial and open source projects.

A couple of easy questions here hopefully. I've been working on two different database projects which make use of multiple forms. 1. Where's the best/recommended placement for command buttons for things like delete, save, edit, cancel buttons - in the footer, or on the form detail section? 2. If in the footer, how do you add them to the tab order?

Okay, here's the deal: Let's say a form is based on a table. This form has Field1 (PrimeKey), Field2, Field3, etc. This form also has a subform which shows related records in another table. The main fields on the main form (Field1, Field2, etc.) are simply there for show, not for editing.

Hi, In my ASP page, I hv a combo box that contains numerous items. Eventhough I have sorted it in alphabetical order, users find it difficult for selecting an item. ie, if they want to select an item starting with "MO..." they can type only "M" and after that they have to scroll down to reach "MO.." What I ment is, I want to change the combo style to "Dropdown Combo" as in VB (Instead of Dropdown List), so that the user can type any text in...

Using Access 2007, I've found that combo box back colors change to transparent from normal inconsistently for no reason I can discern. Never had that problem in previous versions of Access. I do have the back style properties set to Normal and back colors set to white, but sometimes when I tab out of a particular combo box the back color changes to match the back color of the detail section. Has anybody else had this experience? Is there...

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,...
