Combo Box Problem !!

Hopefully this is a simple one to answer ....

Designed a form with 2 combo boxes (surname & member). For some strange
reason they both show Surnames although I think im pointing to the correct
data in the control source (=[table]![surname] etc)and the row source points
to the correct table (table).... very confused.

Any help would be great

Do they both use the same table for the .Rowsource? If so, make sure your
..ColumnCount and .ColumnWidths are correct. .ColumnCount tells you how many
columns are available, and .ColumnWidths determine which ones are shown ...
setting a column's width = 0 will hide it.

Yes, same table is used. ColumnCount is set to 1 and ColumnWidth is blank
for both ComboBoxes. Have 2 separate comboboxes, all I want is the separate
(single) list of data in both.

You need to set the .ColumnWidths to display the correct columns. What is
the .RowSource of each combo?

Hi,

Surname is in the first column and member is in the third.

I did start from scratch last night and used the combo box wizard which was
successful, so now just have a problem passing results to a query. I think I
have set up the query OK (correct criteria combo references) but when I hit
my OK button I get a strange error (A prob occurred when MS Access was
communicating with the OLE server or active X control)???

Thanks for your help

Andy
