"How to filter form records based on combo box value?
I have a form opening with a Select Query displaying ALL records. I placed
an Unbound combo box that looks up values in a separate table on the form. What I want to do is... Select a value from the combo box and filter the form for records using the selected value in the combo box. The field name is Competitor in the form's underlying query. The combo box is named Comp. No matter what I do I get zero (0) records retrieved after update of the combo box. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Stu

"How to filter form records based on combo box value?
I'm wondering if you might have a table somewhere with a "lookup" data field
involved in this description. Lookup data fields store one value, but display another (looked up) value. This can lead to confusion in forms, queries, etc. Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Office/Access MVP "hdfixitup" wrote in message ... I have a form opening with a Select Query displaying ALL records.

In the AfterUpdate event of the combobox, put this code:
Me.FilterOn = True Me.Filter = "SELECT * From MyTable WHERE MyTable.Competitor = " & Me.Comp This assumes the bound column of the combobox is numerical. If it's text, put this: Me.FilterOn = True Me.Filter = "SELECT * From MyTable WHERE MyTable.Competitor = '" & Me.Comp & "'" HTH, Barry "hdfixitup" wrote: I have a form opening with a Select Query displaying ALL records.

"How to filter form records based on combo box value?
Barry,
I did as instructed and got a Syntax error message. I replaced MyTable with tblInterchange as defined in Tables of my database in both MyTable instances. I noticed on the Navigation Bar at the botom of form that the word Filtered appears, but ALL records are displayed and not the selected value in the combo box. I remove the applied filter and get ALL records with NO Filtered showing. It seems we are very close. Syntax Error??? The form's underlying query is based on tblInterchange and opens with ALL records displayed. I added the combo box (Comp) on the form and it's Row source is a Select query (tblCompetitiveLine) with two fields. The first field on the grid is a numeric field and the Bound field. The combo box on the form displays the value in the second field (Comp). Hope this helps. Truly apprciated.

Oops. My mistake. Change it to:

Is the Competitor field numeric? If it's text, it should be:
Me.Filter = "Competitor = '" & Me.Comp & "'" You need to add the single quotes. Barry "hdfixitup" wrote: Tried again; Another syntax error (missing operator) "Barry Gilbert" wrote: Oops. My mistake.
