Thread: combo box to display multiple records in a form

Hi,
See attached screen dumps. Sorry could not attach db as it is too large.

form.doc

combo box has staff initials-

Currently the form shows records of all staff members.

once I select an initial from the combo box i want it to show me all the records associated only with that initail.

How do I go about this without using code or visual basics?

Many Thanks

Not yet resolved

please see what I am trying to do in the attached in my first post above....... (combo box not working)


Thanks

I have one question and one statement:

Why? (not use code)

I am not sure this is possible without using some form of code either macro or vb, cause you will require at least a requery.

Look at this web site and look at the tutorials on combo boxes. There are three of them. Also look at the video on "Build a Custom Filter" after you view the combo box tutorials. This is probably the quickest way without seeing your database itself. If you are still stuck after viewing these then, post your db with dummy (sample data) information and not the full db.

ok, the next step is for you to post your db with a small amount of dummy data in it. With out seeing the actual database, we could be here for weeks trying different things. For me, I am out of quick solutions in my bag of tricks. Post your db so we can test drive it.

Do a compact and repair. This will get rid of any bloat. After that, check the size. If it is still to large then post it to a site like box.net and post the URL here without the www. Then someone here can download it and look at it. Make sure you post it to box.net as a public folder. But do the Compact and repair first.
