Combo boxes on a report

I have 4 combo boxes on a report for the fields, City, County, IBCCP
Agency Name, and Other Agency Name.

The row source for City is: SELECT DISTINCTROW [Cities].[ID], [Cities].
[City] FROM [Cities];
This allows the values selected on the combo box on my main form to
show up on my report.

The row source for County is: SELECT DISTINCTROW [Counties].[County
Code ID2], [Counties].[County] FROM [Counties];
This also returns the values selected on the combo box on my main form
to show up on my report.

However, I am not successful in getting the correct row source for the
fields, IBCCP Agency Name, and Other Agency Name.

Can you help point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

John

You can't have a combo box on a report. I know theoretically it appears
there, but use a text box instead. The report should be based on a query
that has all the results of the lookups displayed.

So if your form uses a combo box to select a county, you probably have
CountyID in the recordset for the form, but you would not have the Table
Counties.

In the query for your report, you would have your main table and the
counties table (suitably linked together) and show the name of the count

I have been searching the archives in an effort to discover how to derive a dual use of a single combo box - so far no go. I found the piece below which pretty much represents the usage. To summarize: The cboKeyword box on the frmCustomer looks up Keywords from a separate table that have just a list of keywords and a KeyID number. The bound column is tied to the autonumber and is saved in the frmCustomer table. The keywords appear in the...

I am trying to set up an unbound form to enter report criteria.

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.

I have synchronized combo boxes linking Account Type with Customer Names based on the template that Microsoft has in one of its samples databases.

However, in the form, the Account Type and Customer Name are displayed because the column width property has been...
