I have a form with a subform containing the combo box I want to update. I have a command button in the header of the main form that launches a report in print preview mode. I want to update the combo box from 'New' to 'Confirmed' when the report is generated. I have tried the following code in both the buttons on_click event and in the reports on_close event (security is set to trust the db) - Forms![Transactions]![Transaction Details Subform].[Form]![OrderStatusID]="1"
There are no errors but it does not work.
Can someone help.
NB: There is a one-to-many relationship between the underlying tables of the main and sub forms so multiple instances of the combo box may appear on the form - All need to be updated.

Your syntax is slightly off. -
Forms![Transactions]![Transaction Details Subform].[Form]![OrderStatusID]="1"
-
should be -
Forms![Transactions].Form![Transaction Details Subform]![OrderStatusID]="Confirmed"

Can you perhaps share with us how this ComboBox is set up Richard?
We don't really have enough info to determine what your problem may be. .RowSource, .ColumnCount, .ColumnWidths & .BoundColumn properties would be most helpful to start with.
Many thanks for the help so far.

The Combo Box control details are as follows:
Control Source = Transactions.Or derStatusID
Row Source = SELECT [Order Status].ID, [Order Status].OrderStatus FROM [Order Status];
Format: Column Count = 2: Column Width = 0cm;2.5cm.
All
I have implemented the code suggested with one minor change as follows: - Private Sub Report_Close()
-
Forms![Transactions]![Transaction Details Subform]![OrderStatusID] = 2
-
End Sub
This code updates one instance of the control on my form. There can be multiple instances however. As a simplified representation, the form looks like this... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-
Main Form
-
CustomerName : OrderNumber : Date : Comments
-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-
Sub Form
-
New: Qty : OrderCode : Description
-
New: Qty : OrderCode : Description
-
New: Qty : OrderCode : Description
-
...etc
-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Where 'New' is the default value of the 'OrderStatusID' control I want to update
When I run the code (close the report) I get this... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-
Main Form
-
CustomerName : OrderNumber : Date : Comments
-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-
Sub Form
-
Confirmed : Qty : OrderCode : Description
-
New : Qty : OrderCode : Description
-
New : Qty : OrderCode : Description
-
...etc
-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A customer may request many items on any one order. - I want to confirm all of them at once.

Ah. That's quite a different question then (at least a fundamentally different answer now the question is clearer).
For this you will want instead, to update the records in the table (using some simple SQL) and then call a .Requery of the subform.
We don't have the details of any filtering or linking that restricts the data on your subform, but you will need to design SQL to reflect the same records in your update query (SQL).
If you need help with this then please reply including the info we would need to be able to show this for you.
Thanks NeoPa. I'll give it a go myself over the weekend and let you know the outcome.

Please do Richard.
Good luck :)
Hi,
After much brain wracking I have to admit defeat. Can you tell me what's wrong with this... - Private Sub Report_Close()
-
Update [Transaction Details] Set OrderStatusID = 2
-
WHERE ((([Transaction Details].TransactionID) = [Forms]![Transactions]![Transaction Details Subform].[Form]![TransactionID]))
-
End Sub
I just get a syntax error.
I have tried various combinations of bracket types and quote marks. I also tried renaming the table to remove the space - Still no-go.

Yes. I can.
Fundamentally you are trying to execute SQL code as VBA code.
I'll have a look at it and see what I can do, but you need to create your SQL string first using VBA, then pass that string to be executed as SQL.

I have created form, query and report.
In the form I have a Combo Box which pulls the search criteria
(SaleStatus) from one of my tables. When I select a status and click
on the search button it should run the query and then preview the
report.
The form is an unbound form with the row source type set to
table/query. The row source is a select statement pulling the data from
the table. The Name of the combobox is SaleStatus.

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?

Hello,
I need to create a command button to print a report in Preview mode using the criteria from a combo box.
The combo box is unbound and holds a list of clients. I need the user to select the client, then when the button is hit the report lists all the records for that client.
I can write a script which prints a single record from a report, which is here:
Dim strReportName As String
Dim strCriteria As String

Hi there,
I am trying to run a report using a parameter for where the user chooses a
month from a combo box. Then on the report, I want it to compare the month to
a date field and choose only those dates with the month chosen from the
parameter form.
Basically, its to see who's birthdays are coming up. So on the parameter form
you choose November, so then I want the report to display all the kids who's
birthdays are in November.
