I am trying to use Access and VBA to create a DB to store

  • 0

I am trying to use Access and VBA to create a DB to store my library. I already posted a question and got a useful answer but I am still failing with the basics, so, after having checked this tutorial link I am starting from scratch and doing it in smaller steps (i.e. asking more basic questions…).
I have the following DB structure and relationship details:

Using the Access AutoForm:Columnar wizard I created a Form based on the Table Libri, then I changed the field “Stanza” into a ComboBox, I entered the RowSource as follows:

Then in the Event tab I selected the … controls in the NotInList and in the VBA I entered the following code:

Saved everithing, but when I open the Form Libri and try to enter a value in the ComboBox I get the following error message:

All my tables are empty (no records).
So the VBA code seems not to be considered/executed at all, what am I doing wrong or missing?

    Ok, I was completely blind.
    The error is the option: “Limit to list” that I set to “NO” and instead, the NotInList event is only filred if such option is set to “yes”.
    I find this conter-intuitive, but at least now I know.
    Sorry for bothering other. hope this is helpful some other newbe like me.
