Access queries with dropdowns list for parameters?
How can I make a query so that the criteria for the parameters are a drop
down list of the values in that field. For example, if the field is "Country of Project", the user can choose from the available countries via a drop down list rather than enter in "Kenya" in the criteria box. Also, is it possible to let the user select more than one country (via using the Control botton while selecting?) from this drop down list? I've been trying to figure this out for days. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

If you want the user to be able to select from a list you need to use a form and have the query reference a ComboBox on the form for its parameter instead of using the [Enter your parameter] method in the query. -- I don't check the Email account attached to this message.

Access queries with dropdowns list for parameters?
Hi Rick,
I have a similar problem. I've created a combo box with a list of topics which the user can select. In my Query window under Criteria, I've type: = [Forms]![SelectCategory].[Combo2] When I run my query, it does not capture the value i selected from the combo box. I tested my query using just a specific value; eg in Criteria, I keyed in "*SAP*", and i return all the items which is related to SAP. Care to help.

Hi Pirduan,
You have to requery the combo box after you select the data. Use the On Exit event: me.combo2.requery. Kathleen "Pirduan" wrote: Hi Rick, I have a similar problem.

Access queries with dropdowns list for parameters?
Are you certain that the combo box is bound to the column you think it is?
In otherwords, does [Forms]![SelectCategory].[Combo2] return the value you think it should? -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Imran" wrote in message ...
