Hello. I'm trying to capture a controls value: a dropdown box with two
selections (either "Red" or "Blue") keeps returning the value "Red" even if
"Blue" is selected?

Donald, which property are you using to access the value? Could you
post you code as well?
Say I have a control "CboColor" on a form with the "ITEMS" collection set to
list 'Red' and 'Blue' and the "TEXT" value set to 'Red'. I'm trying to get
the value of the control via code as such:
Dim strCboColorVal
strCboColorVal = Me.CboColor.Tex t()
Then to check if it's working:
Debug.Print(str CboColorVal)
And the value 'Red' occurs even if 'Blue' is selected in the dropdown box.

Assuming you used the designer property dialog to set the Items
collection by typing Red on the first line, and Blue on the second
line, the follwing code will produce th correct result...
If frmMain.cboOdue Color.SelectedI tem.ToString = "Red" Then
....
End If
will give you the result you are looking for.
Still not working. I'm using this code from a separate class to catch/use
the values of the controls but they are only returning the values they were
set to at design time. How to return current values?
Dim strFontSize
strFontSize = frmMain.NumFont Size.Value.ToSt ring
If strFontSize = 10 Then
Debug.Print(str FontSize)
ElseIf strFontSize = 17 Then
Debug.Print(str FontSize)
End If
Dim ODueFontColor, ODueFontColorVa l
ODueFontColor = frmMain.CboOdue Color.SelectedI tem.ToString
If ODueFontColor = "Red" Then
ODueFontColorVa l = 3
Debug.Print(ODu eFontColorVal)
ElseIf ODueFontColor = "Blue" Then
ODueFontColorVa l = 5
Debug.Print(ODu eFontColorVal)

First, it's strongly recommended to enable Option Strict. This code is slow,
unsafe and is doing unnecessary conversions.
Are you using different instances of the Form? Ist frmMain the visible
instance of the Form that you want to refer to? If you are not sure, set a
break point at the first line and have a look at frmMain.visible .

Hi,
Im wondering if anyone can help me with a problem.
I have a form with more than 50 unbound fields.
Some of the fields will be blank from time to time.
This seems to be where im having trouble.
I have tried keeping some of the fields bound and when I use the save button
it has been saving as 2 different records. This is unacceptable.
This is what I have, can anyone help me out with this?
