Access VBA

list box - when it gets populated - is it going to change the size automatically so it fits the records or do I need to cater for that and code it?

RE: access VBA

Hi Fabian

Thank you for your question

The best approach is to use code to set the column widths for your combo box. Use the column widths property to set this. For example the following would set the widths of a two column combo box.

cmbCombo.ColumWidths = "3cm;5cm"

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
