Need Sub form combo boxes to update form combo boxes
I tried doing this once before, and could not get it to work so I just
proceeded in the old fashion way (adding new business to the subform combo box, closing the main form, reopening the form, then reopening the combo box.) I had a few minutes and decided to try to write a macro (I do not write code) and then put it in the After Update field. Here is what I have: Two sub forms on my main form. Each sub form has one combo box. I can update my tbl_business and/or my tbl_description by using these two sub form combo boxes. I wrote a Macro "Macro_AddNewBusiness" to simply say "Open Table" - "Table Business" On the After Update line of the combo box on the sub form and the main form, I entered the Macro Name "Macro_AddNewBusiness." On the subform, after I add the new business, the table immediately appears and I have to close it. When I click the combo box on the main form, the combo box list appears. I choose the name, then the actual table appears. I have to highlight or point to the business I want, then I have to close the table for the new business to appear as the correct business choice in the combo box on the main form. This happens if I want to enter a business that has been on the list prior to a new addition. Needless to say, I don't think I'm doing this correctly. What should I be doing? Any suggestions as I know all this would be a great time saver if I can get it to work. Thanks in advance |
