[MS_AccessPros] Re: Cascading combo box problem

Bill,
This is the code that is in the code that runs on the On Current property. This code makes only the ACTIVE selections available in one of the COMBO Boxes if the record is new, but for old records we want to see all the options.

Where would you put the code to refresh the 2nd combo box. Last time I tried I got that loop you were talking about.

Bill
MN

Private Sub Form_Current()
' If on a new record
If Me.NewRecord Then
' Don't show the obosolete service areas
Me.cboMinistryArea.RowSource = "SELECT * FROM t_MinistryArea WHERE minActive = False ORDER BY t_MinistryArea.[MinistryArea];"
Else
' Existing record - show them all
Me.cboMinistryArea.RowSource = "SELECT * FROM t_MinistryArea ORDER BY t_MinistryArea.[MinistryArea];"
End If
End Sub
