Re: [MS_AccessPros] Combo Box finds first record in table instead of selection

 

John,

Thanks for your reply. I found the problem. I had an incorrect join in the query for the record source of the form. I was trying to look up a trailer that had not been delivered yet and my record source had an inner join between the primary table and the delivery table. So the combo box could find the record because it was just based on the primary table but the query couldn't because of the join. I changed it to a left join and now it works. Hope things are good in Paris. Having you done any traveling lately?

What is the Row Source of the combo box, the Bound Column, Number of Columns, and the Display Widths?

Hello Friends,

I have a combo box that is supposed to find the record for the trailer typed into the box. However if you type in the unit number, it displays the first record in the table. Here is the code in the afterupdate event of the combo box:

Private Sub cboLookupTrailer_AfterUpdate()
    ' Find the record that matches the control.
    Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
    Dim strComboVar As String

    strComboVar = Me.cboLookupTrailer

    If Len(cboLookupTrailer & vbNullString) <> 0 Then
        Me.Filter = ""
        Me.FilterOn = False
        Me.Recordset.FindFirst "[New Unit #]='" & strComboVar & "'"
        
    End If
End Sub

I fear corruption. I have tried compact and repair and also deleting the combo box and recreating it. No luck. Anyone have any ideas?
