Show list box selections in text box on report

[BarbQb]

Hi All.

I have a form where I can select multiple CustomerID's for my report. At the top of the report I have a text box that I would like to disply the Customer ID's that the user selected

This is what I have for the text box

="Customer ID: " & Forms.frm_AllCust.Customer

This code doesn't return anything on the report, just shows "Customer ID: " (shown without the "")


Any help would be great

Are the Multiple CustomerIDs on frm_AllCust displayed in a List Box named Customer? If so, what is the RowSource for the List Box? You must be more specific as to where and how these IDs are displayed on the Form.

Sorry about that.

List box and the rowsource:

frm_AllCust.Customer

SELECT qryCustomer.Customer_ID 
FROM qryCustomer 
ORDER BY [Customer_ID];

From the Report's Activate() Event, you can actually build a String (Comma Delimited in this case) of CustomerIDs Selected on frm_AllCust, then display it in a Text Box (txtIDs) in the Report's Header Section, as in:

Private Sub Report_Activate()
Dim lst As Access.ListBox
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strBuild As String
 
Set lst = Forms![frm_AllCust]![Customer]
 
If lst.ItemsSelected.Count > 0 Then
  For Each varItem In lst.ItemsSelected
    strBuild = strBuild & lst.ItemData(varItem) & ","
  Next varItem
    Me![txtIDs] = Left$(strBuild, Len(strBuild) - 1)
End If
End Sub

ADezii, you've changed your avatar again!! I'm struggling to keep up :-D

As for the problem, there is another way to approach this if you assume that the report has already been called with the WhereCondition parameter set to list the relevant [Customer ID]s. The Filter property of the report will contain something like :

[Customer ID] In(X, Y, Z, ...)

Simply strip the "[Customer ID] In(" and the ")" from the string and add it into the TextBox control displaying the title.
