2 New Member
Hi I am a newbe at this
I have created 3 tables one called computers the other software- and the third installed apps What I am trying to do via a form is to have on the one side a combo box showing the p/c names, and on the other side a combo box showing all the apps. What I am trying to do is to select a pc name from the p/c name combo and then selecting a few apps from the other combo box (installed aps) and this info is written to a table showing the p/c name and the apps associated with it.
thank you

Hi Lucas 45 and welcome.
Thats a big question to try and answer in a forum.
What have you tried in order to achieve it so far?
What difficulty are you having making it work?

I assume you are going to display the list of applications on the form for the selected computer and that as you select an application in the combo box it will be added to the list displayed on the form
If so then what you are trying to achieve will probably need to be done with some VBA code on your form. How familiar are you with VBA?

Hi Delerna
Thank you for your reply. You are correct in that I will need to do some VBA coding. In Essence what I am trying to achieve is updating a table by using 2 other via combo boxes. I guess I have to find a way In VB to read a: the computer name from the one Combo as well as the selection made in the other combo box and write the data into a third table. I can then do a query on that table. Looks like I have to brush up my VB.

Hi folks, I'm posting this message because it's an issue I come up against relatively often, but I can't find any writings on the subject, and I haven't been able to figure out even what key words one would use to look for it. First, in broad philosophical terms, code actually -is- data. Code is the data that's fed into a compiler, interpreter, or microprocessor that tells it what to do. Code execution is, then, just a form another...

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,...
