Combo Box linked to opening a form

hi,

Wondering if anyone can help me. I have a combo box which shows 5 different options. Each of these options has its own form. when the option is selected, I want the appropriate form to open.
Also, as this selection has been entered, I want an ID code to be entered into the database to show that "Option 3" has been selected.

Workflow:

"Option3" selected from drop down in Combo Box

This to open "Option3FORM"

As "Option3" is selected, I want an automated ID code to be entered (automatically) into "Option3ID" on the database.

I hope that makes sense. As my data is sensitive I am not able to send it over.

Thanks,

kathryn

Access tip:

How To Find All Overdue Accounts?

To find overdue accounts create a filter that compares today's date with the Invoice Date in the table. To do this:

1. Open the Query in Design View
2. Select the field for the filter and in the criteria row enter:

<Date()

This filter returns records where the Invoice Date is before today's date.

This filter can be manipulated if, for instance, Invoices are due 15 days after the Invoice Date. For this the filter would be:

<Date()-15

This filter returns records where the Invoice Date is 15 days before today's date.
