ComboBox Selection
Terry Heaton 

5 years ago
I have a ComboBox that list all of a customer's work orders. I also have a create NEW work order button that opens a new form to create the work order. When I finish creating the work order it goes back to the customer form and refreshes correctly but the combobox still is on the last work order that was view or is blank. I would like to have it change to the work order I just created. This may be easier, since  the combo box refreshes correctly and the latest workorder is the first one in the list but not selected.

You'll need some code in there to set the box equal to the one that was created. Wherever you are requerying it, you could DMax the date and then DLookup the ID to set the box value.

Thank you. I didn't realize that setting the value of the control box to equal the value of the bound column would also act like you clicked (selected) it.
