Question

I have two combo boxes on a form. The first allows the user to search a record by name, and when a record is selected, all of the other controls on the form are updated. I don’t remember how I did this, and I think it may have been through the wizard. But now I want to add a second combo box that allows users to search by address, but when an address is selected in this new combo box, the record does not update.

Here is what I have tried:

Private Sub Form_Activate()
    Me.Refresh
End Sub

And…

Private Sub Combo250_AfterUpdate()

Me.Requery

End Sub

And also a SearchForRecord Macro which searches for the First record with using this WHERE clause

="[ID] = " & Str(Nz(Screen.ActiveControl,0))

The two tables involved are Demographics and Addresses, and they are joined by the ID column.

Please help!

Answer 1

Use the wizard to add the combobox and when the option shows “Find a record on my form based on the value I select in my combobox”, choose that and continue through the wizard.

Manual code:

With Me.RecordsetClone
    .FindFirst "Address='" & Me.cboAddress & "'"
    If Not .NoMatch Then
        Me.Bookmark = .Bookmark
    End If
End With
