Combo Box Selection

Hi,
When I make a selection from the drop down list of values on a Combo
Box.

The Combo Box is on a Form.

The Combo Box selection appears on ALL of the records.

That is, when I select one value from the Combo Box that value appears
in the Combo Box on all the records regardless of what record I am
viewing on my Form!

How do I fix this?

Thank you!

You most likely are doing this with a continuous form or datasheet. And
the combo has a filter specific to that record.

Remove the filter (most likely that won't be acceptable) or else display
the data only and use a Dbl-click event to open up a form that will
present a drop down filtered for that specific record.

BTW, the data in all the other records doesn't change...but it would be
disconcerting to the user.

Thank you!

Hi Everyone- I have a question about how to add and then use the "All" selection in a combo box. I am trying to figure out how to: (1) add "All" as a selection to a combo box and then (2) how to use the selection "All" as criteria for a field in a query, which is used to generate data for a report.

Hi I have a combo box (A) that populates a following combo box (B) based on a selection.

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)
