ACCESS FEED: RE: [MS_AccessPros] Re: Open form using combo box and command button

Kat-

Well, you have a Vendor ID on the Contract Form, so you need to change your
filter rather than add the Vendor Information table. The combo box on your
search form should be exactly the same as the Vendor combo box on the Contract
Form. That will bind the search combo to the ID, not the vendor name, and you
can search using that. Don't put quotes around the parameter value because
you'll be searching on a number, not a text value. You need to do a similar
thing to your Employee search - search for the matching ID, not the name. Your
search on "Category" (Type of Lease) should work because you're using the text,
not an artificial ID.

John,

I uploaded a new database that shows the arguments in the Find Contract Form.
I'm not sure how to add the vendor name into the record source of the contract
form. At this point I feel if I add anything I'll mess up my database.....

Thanks!

Kat
