Question

i have a query as Record Source for a Form, for each row in that query there is a linked table with n rows matching that row, I want to return one field from all of the n matching rows in a listbox for each row in the query. how do i implement the filter that there should be a match between 1 field in the query and in the linked table?

Answer 1

You can set the row source of a listbox to an sql string. For example:

SELECT ID, AText FROM Table1 WHERE ID = Forms!Form1!ID

How the data is stored will depend on the Bound Column and the Control Source. If you do not wish to show the matching column, in this case ID, you can set the column widths. You should set the column count to the correct number of columns.

Column Widths: 0;2.5
Column Count: 2

You will then have to requery the listbox in the current event:

Private Sub Form_Current()
Me.List1.Requery
End Sub
