John,
SetProperty did it, Selected "value" and made it "Null".
Thanks,
Bill

Use SetValue to set the combo box to Null.

John,
I will check out the book.
I have access 2010. Which brings me to an issue. I have a combo box that looks
up a record on a form. The combo box in Access 2010 goes to a "After update"
macro and finds the record on my form. I want to clear the combo box after the
record is found so as not to confuse the user. I have an older 2007 database
that clears a combo box but it go to the code builder. I cannot figure out how
to modify the 2010 macro to clear the combo box. Is that possible. Should I
start a new thread on this?
Thanks,
Bill

You don't say which version of Access you're using or the types of applications
you're building. If you're building web apps with 2010, then macros are the way
to go. If you're building desktop apps in any version, then you should learn
VBA. I recently recommended this book to someone else on this forum:
http://www.amazon.com/Learn-Access-2003-Smart-Method/dp/0955459907?tag=viescacon
sulinc
I haven't read that book personally, but it has excellent reviews on Amazon.
Although it's for version 2003, what you'll learn should be applicable to all
versions.

John,
Thanks, I will give that a try.
I do not understand the question - "why are you using macros?"
I use them because they are more menu driven. I understand them more than the
"code builder"
If you had a source for learning how to use the "code Builder" I would be
interested.
Thanks,
Bill

Why are you using macros? Use the Requery action in a macro and point to the
second combo box in the Control Name parameter. Run the macro from both the
Form's Current event and the first combo's After Update event.

John,
I would be interested in how to do an update on the second combo box based on
the "after update" property of the first combo box. That would seem to be a good
option. I use the Macro builder. Would I still use the "RefreshRecord" option?
Thanks,
Bill

You shouldn't wait until the Got Focus event of the second combo. Your Requery
should occur in the Form_Current event and the AfterUpdate event of the first
combo.

Duane,
Refresh Record in the On Current of the form and in the On Focus of the 2nd drop
down box ... and it works perfectly.
thanks and have a Happy New Year. As you can tell I am really partying hard
here in front of my computer. I will not make it to midnight.

It just shows as blank. When I click on the box the correct item shows up. It
is as if it was there all the time but waiting me to touch it with the mouse.
This is frustrating. I would like the second combo box to show the selected item
as I go through the next record.
