Combo boxes

Hi there,

I would like to create a combo box which shows only a select number of rows from the look up table (rather than all of them). I expect that to do this I need to write an expression in the row source query builder, in the criteria row.

Any advice on how to generate this expression would be great! Hope that makes sense, any clarification let me know.

Best,

Tom

RE: Combo boxes

Hi Tom,

Thank you for the forum question.

Where do you want the combo box. In a form?

If you want only to see specific rows in a combo box in a form, create the form from a query. You will need to query the query. Let us say that you have a column in the query displaying dates.

If you in the criteria row in the query write Between #1/1/2018 and #31/12/2018#, you combo will be limited to only show data for 2018.

Please let me know if it is not an answer which will do what you need.


Kind regards

Hi there,

I never thanked you for this reply, yes very helpful indeed. I have one more question which has baffled me but I will post in a new query.

Thanks again,

Zoom feature for queries

If youare working on on query design and creating a calculated field, it can be hard to view the whole statement. You can hold the shift key down and press F2, to show the zoomed up version of the query field
