Question

So in MS Access 2010 I have a main form for viewing client details, and tabbed subform navigation with subforms showing information in different tables for said client. On one page, i have a combobox to select a date for viewing a testing session related to the client. I am trying to get the first combobox value to be selected automatically when the user goes to this tab and/or cycles through other users while viewing this tab. My simple VB code is below:

Private Sub Form_Current()
    Me.DateOfScreening.Requery
    Me.DateOfScreening.Selected(2) = True
End Sub

The requery command is executing (paging through different clients will update the combobox values, and commenting that line out stops that behavior, so I know this code block is getting executed), but the Selected command appears to not select anything.

I hope I am just missing something obvious

Answer 1

For some reason, setting the selected row index for a combo box has not behaved well for me.
Could you just set the combobox value directly, as in

        Me.DateOfScreening = "yourValue"

Also, when referencing the control, you can use either

   me.dateofScreening.column(0)    'if 0 is your bound col index

or maybe

  me.dateofScreening.itemdata(0)

Also, could you do a debug.print(me.dateofScreening.column(0)) or msgbox (me.dateofScreening.column(0)) and let me know if it says anything.
