Combo box confusion
David K 
    
13 years ago
I'm finishing up Beginner Level 4 and doing pretty well.  Still running my business and I'm stuck on a couple of things that Richard will probably cover down the road, but I could really use them  now, as I learn.
1)  The combo box.  I can set it up for address, and type in the address and it finds it immediately.  But when I try to set up a combo box on record id (not the Access id, but my own assigned numbers in the table,....and it's indexed), I get error messages and it doesn't find anything.  The message is "Select an item from the list, or enter text that matches one of the listed items".  It's a number, so I don't get why it won't do what the address field combo box does.
Anybody?  What am I doing wrong with the numeric combo box?


Reply from Richard Rost:

I really can't tell what this problem is without seeing how your combo box is set up. I cover combo boxes A LOT over the next couple of classes, so I'll bet your question gets answered soon.
