Hi, im doing a college assignment using Access and i seem to have hit a hard rock thats getting in my way. I will explain my task solution in hope you may be able to explain the best way to do this:
A motorcycle workshop uses a paper based system to store their job records, each new customer has a job card, and returning customers have new job cards.
Some bikes come back with the same problem, but the sloution may have been forgoten, so i want a system that records each bikes problems and has notes on how it was repaired, this way, when a bike comes in with a common problem, a search can be made for same bikes with the same problem to cut back on time finding the problem.
Anyways, i hope this is making sense, so to enter the problem, i want a combo box that has options like: Mechanical, Electronic, Bodywork, Service, MOT. then once a field is selected the combo box below changes it values so if Mechanical was selected the next box would be: Engine, brakes, steering... etc.
If it was MOT, then the second would be: oil, plugs, full service, etc.
So basically like what insurance websites have when the car model combo box changes depending on the manufacturer.
If someone could explain how this is done i would be extremely grateful and i appologise if this is a repeat question (i have searched but i dont honestly know what im searching for), because im a mod on a sony psp forum and know how many n00b questions come up.
But as i said, any help would be awesome.

Has anyone got a working version of this? If so could it be sent to me, or uploaded etc?
The first box is coming up with the company names i put in but the second is still showing all the employee names.
Thanks

I wasn't sure how to search for previous posts about this, it felt
real specific. Ok so here's the database & problem:
I have 4 combo boxes: cboServer, cboPolicy, cboDB, and
cboApplication. The idea behind the database is for a user to search/
select desired information in any kind of combination between the 4
combo boxes. Then the user clicks a button (btnSearch) and
subsequently a query ("Search Function") is run that shows all 4...

Hi,
I know there are various answers to this problem available on the web but none of them seem to work for me. I am using Access 2003 to make a form to look up data from a table. I have so far created three combo boxes that cascade down from Name to Project to Date and when this has been chosen I have four textbox fields I want to display based on this selection. I tried linking the last combo box comboDate to update these fields after...

Good Morning All,
I am having problems turning my Matter_Creation_Form.DOC into a Matter_Creation_Form.DOT.
Now,
Within Word, I have created a document that contains 2 Combo Boxes which, when a .DOC file, the contents of them appears fine.
I then resave the file as a template (with the extension .DOT to change it into a template) and the contents of the Combo Boxes does not appear.

Hi everyone,
I have several combo boxes on my form, and while I have designated a column head, I cannot figure out how to default to the column head value. What I really want is for all of my combo boxes to default to a selection that is either blank or the column head, so that my users don't see their previous selection when they go and select a value from the drop down list.
Also, what would be the best way to enable a user to clear out...

Fredrik, Thanks so much. That worked.
Following this, I can now see that my combo2 has no previous elements
and contains only the elements relevant to selection in combo1.
Now, as soon as I select something in combo 2 and go back to change
selection in combo1 the combo2 must get its history cleared up (i.e
the previous selection in combo2's entry subwidget)

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:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

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,...
