Hi Bruce,

Thanks very much for your response. I have done all that, but keep getting
the following error message

"Run Time Error 3464 : Data type mismatch in criteria expression"

I don't know where i should be looking to fix this. [ClientID] is a PK
field, which is Text - it's basically an ID number, but NOT autogenerated.
Will this be something to do with it?

Also, when i click debug, the line highlighted is:

rs.FindFirst "[ClientID] = " & Me.cboClient

Any further help would be much appreciated,

Kirst

I'm guessing you have After Update combo box code along the lines of:

Dim rs As Object

Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.FindFirst "[FirstName] = '" & Me.cboClient & "'"
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark

If so, the FindFirst is producing the results you are seeing. It is
finding
the first instance of Robert, no matter who you select. Instead, you
could
set up the row source query thus:

SELECT [ClientID], [Surname] & "," & [FirstName] AS FullName
FROM qryClientDetails
ORDER BY [Surname], [FirstName]

Note that it is a two-column query. I am assuming ClientID is unique for
each record, and that it is a number (including autonumber) field. Set
the
combo box Bound Column to 1, the Column Count to 2, and the Bound Columns
to
something like 0";2".

Your After Update code should be changed to something like:

Dim rs As Object

Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.FindFirst "[ClientID] = " & Me.cboClient
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark

This finds the first record in which ClientID matches the combo box
selection.
Since ClientID is unique, the first matching record is the only one.

You may have something like this for the third line of code:
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark

That's OK. I generally do not use "If Not rs.EOF Then", but it does no
harm,
AFAIK, and may help in circumstances I have not yet encountered.

Hi all,

This is driving me nutty! And i know it's probably something really
obvious
that i am just not seeing.....

I have a form which has a combo box on it. The combo box has 3 columns,

First Name, Surname, ClientID

(SELECT qryClientDetails.FirstName, qryClientDetails.SurName,
qryClientDetails.ClientID FROM qryClientDetails ORDER BY
qryClientDetails.FirstName

When the bound column is 1, it works, but only up to a point. If there are
two clients called Robert (Robert A and Robert B) and i want Robert B,
when
i click on him it always displays the data for Robert A.

When the bound column is 3, it always shows the last record in the table,
no
matter what i have selected.

HELP!!

TIA,

Kirst
