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

Kat-

Your previous message came in at midnight Paris time - sorry, I was sound
asleep.

First, there should be NO Record Source for the FIND CONTRACT form. You'll be
changing the data in the first record in the contracts table every time to pick
search criteria if you do that!!

Also remove the Control Source from the three combo boxes.

The Where Condition for the Vendor macro:

="[VENDOR=" & [VENDOR ID]

..

Should be:

="[VENDOR ID] = " & [VENDOR NAME]

(Or you could do & [VENDOR ID] if you change the name of the combo box.)

You fixed the Row Source for Employee, but you didn't fix the macro. The Where
Condition should be:

="[EMPLOYEE ID] = " & [EMPLOYEE NAME]

(Or, if you change the combo box name, use [EMPLOYEE ID] for the second part.)

John -

Did you get a chance to look at the database? Still can't figure out what I'm
doing wrong... Please help! I've got a deadline and am in a bind.

Thanks!

everytime I make a selection and hit the command button to pull of the
information it creates a new record in my contract table, not sure why it's
doing that now.
