Combo Box to find a record they display on a form
I haven't worked in Access in over 10 years and am having trouble getting my
form to work properly. I have a form that will display all fields on a table by finding a record in a combo box. My problem is when I like on the record I want to display for edits not all the fields are getting propulated. What step am I missing here?

Combo Box to find a record they display on a form
Hi Debi,
How are you getting to the "record you want to edit"? Did you let the widard create the form for you? Are you using a wizard created ComboBox to "find the record" or do you navigate using the Nav Buttons on the bottom of the form? What version of Access are you using?

Combo Box to find a record they display on a form
Hey there.... I did use the wizzard to create the combo box, but created the
form myself. I am using Access 2003 SP2. I feel really rusty in Access :/ "ruralguy via AccessMonster.com" wrote: Hi Debi, How are you getting to the "record you want to edit"?

Are all of your Form Controls bound to fields in the underlying RecordSource?
Did you select Option 3 when you created the ComboBox? Debi wrote: Hey there.... I did use the wizzard to create the combo box, but created the form myself. I am using Access 2003 SP2.

Try option 3. You'll like it.

Turn on the NavButtons on the bottom of the form and move to different
records. Do all of the "Fields" on the form populate? Debi wrote: I did but it still doesn't populate all the fields on the form.... I know I am missing something simple Try option 3. You'll like it.

What are the Control Source properties of the textboxes which aren't populating (should be the fieldnames)? If you open the table datasheet directly do you see the data you expect? -- John W.

I have tried it based on a query and also direct for the table to populate.
When I built the form I used the field list and yes the data is there... "John W.
