Form: Combo selection with "ALL"
I have a Db with a form that reads the data table. On the form I have two
combo box that feeds the other combo box. What I need now is to have All as options for the two. To clarify, here is the example: The 1st combo box selects - Sites i.e. NY, Boston, London Within each site there are a number of groups, so the e.g. NY has G1, G2 Boston has G3, G4 London G5 Now the 2nd Combo box based on the site location, gives you the options for that site i.e. If you selected NY, it gives you G1 and G2 selections. Now what I need is to add an option to both combo boxes "All" i.e. Combo1 = All (should give all the 3 sites) Combo2 = All (should give all the groups) Could anyone give me directions, how to go about adding this "All" option to the combo boxes on the form. Thanks in advance for your assistance. MSA |

Form: Combo selection with "ALL"
Hi Klatuu,
Thx for your input. Unfortunately I am using - RowSourceType = Table/Query So the suggested approach at the site is dealing with RowSourceType = Value List. Please do advise in this case how to proceed with "All". Thanks!

Form: Combo selection with "ALL"
Also I forgot to mention earlier that my combo box is unbounded. So its only
picking up the sites - NY, Boston, London individually. I need to add All on top, which if selected should show all the sites. "MSA" wrote: Hi Klatuu, Thx for your input.

Form: Combo selection with "ALL"
You didn't read the whole page at the site. The large print in the upper
portion describes that. Now, you may be thinking that doesn't apply to you because you are using a query. Open the query in design view, switch to SQL view, copy and paste it into the Row Source property of the combo, and modify it to include the code to add the ALL to your list.

Form: Combo selection with "ALL"
The SQL used for this type of query is a Union query. A Union query required
the same number of fields in both tables. Since you have only one field in your the first select, you can have only one field in the second select. Change it to: UNION Select "(All)"as Bogus From xA_rt_CC_Site Here is the code from one of my forms: SELECT EmployeeNum FROM tbllkEmployee UNION Select "(All)" as Bogus From tbllkEmployee; "MSA" wrote: Thx, yes I did and it did not work.
