Khalid-
Well, my reply is absolutely unreadable when I posted it on the web, so here it is again from email:
Khalid-
Consider what you want to have happen when the user selects either a ConsignmentNo or ClientCN in the unbound combo boxes. You could write code to either move to the first record that matches the selected ConsignmentNo or filter so that only records for that ConsignmentNo appear. Here's some sample code for applying a filter.
Private Sub cmbConsignment_AfterUpdate()
Dim strFilter As String
' Build a filter on the selected Consignment
strFilter = "ConsignmentNo = '" & Me.cmbConsignment & "'"
' See if a Client also selected
If Not IsNull(Me.cmbClient) Then
' Add to the filter for Client
strFilter = strFilter & " AND ClientCN = " & Me.cmbClient
End If
' Apply the filter
Me.Filter = strFilter
Me.FilterOn = True
' See if no records found (will be on a new row)
If Me.NewRecord Then
' Ask the user
If vbYes = MsgBox("No records match the Consignment and Client " & _
"you selected. Do you want to add a new record?", _
vbQuestion + vbYesNo) Then
' Copy the values to the bound fields
Me.ConsignmentNo = Me.cmbConsignment
Me.ClientCN = Me.cmbClient
Else
' Clear the two combos
Me.cmbConsignment = Null
Me.cmbClient = Null
' Remove the filter
Me.Filter = ""
Me.FilterOn = False
End If
End If
End Sub
You would put similar code in the AfterUpdate event of the Client combo box. Note that I have used cmbConsignment as the name of the unbound combo box for Consignment and cmbClient as the name of the unbound combo box for Client.

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] RE: Need help on a from and its subform (Collection Voucher)
John, Thanks for diverting me to the right approach, i am working upon it and checking the results. In the meanwhile please suggest that having ConsignmentNo and CIN unbound fields, if they they Row Source: SELECT [Consignment Number].ConsignmentNo, [Consignment Number].CollectionDate, [Consignment Number].Grade FROM [Consignment Number] ORDER BY [Consignment Number].ConsignmentNo; and same as for CIN, is it a right approach or wrong? Secondly after input in the last field "Amount" on the form how the user should be prompted if he wants to enter more records with the same ConsignmentNo and CIN OR same ConsignmentNo but other CIN Presently i am trying only for ConsignmentNo with On Got Focus event: Private Sub Amount_GotFocus() Dim msg As String msg = msg & "Do you want to enter more entries for this consignment?" If MsgBox(msg, vbYesNo, "PCTL - Confirmation!") = vbYes Then DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec CartonNo.SetFocus ConsignmentNo = N_ConsignmentNo CollectionDate.Value = CmbCollectionDate Grade.Value = CmbGrade ClientCIN = CIN ClientName.Value = CmbClientName Else DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec N_ConsignmentNo.SetFocus End If End Sub Here also there is a small problem that while clicking on the Yes/No button of msgbox its still there on the second attempt/click i can go further Regards, Khalid --- In ms_access_professionals@yahoogroups.com, <JohnV@...> wrote: Khalid-
You should be using a single form and provide unbound fields for Consignment and CIN values. Code you write for those unbound controls would "lookup" the matching record or provide a blank record partially filled in if none found.
When your control is bound, any change by the user changes the value of the field in the current record. It does not provide any sort of search. With your design, users will be updating records that shouldn't be changed!

Hi john,
The reasoning is that i want when user selects a ConsignmentNo and ClientCIN (CIN stands for Client identification number) the entries in the subform are for the subject ConsignmentNo and ClientCIN. If ConignmentNo changes OR the ConsignmentNo is same but ClientCIN changes entries on the subform refer to it. Each time user may not have to enter ConsignmentNo and ClientCIN
Regards,
Khalid
