MS Access Forum / Forms / December 2007Combo Box
Is there a way to have more than one bound column in a combo box? No. What is it you are trying to do? Perhaps we can offer a suggestion.  SignatureDave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP > Is there a way to have more than one bound column in a combo box? > Is there a way to have more than one bound column in a combo box? No. Now if you tell us why you think you need more than one bound column, perhaps some one can help with an alternative solution. SignatureFred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail Example: Table: Employee Table - Field :Employee No Field: Employee Company When using the pull down in a form the employee No saves as the bound entry, but I would also like the employee co from that table to save. > > Is there a way to have more than one bound column in a combo box? > > No. > Now if you tell us why you think you need more than one bound column, > perhaps some one can help with an alternative solution. > Example: > Table: Employee Table - Field :Employee No Field: Employee Company [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> Now if you tell us why you think you need more than one bound column, >> perhaps some one can help with an alternative solution. Why? As long as you have saved the Employee Number field, any time you need to show the Name associated with the number, you could: 1) Use DLookUp() to find the name. =DLookUp("[EmployeeName]","EmployeeTable","[EmployeeNumber] = " & [EmployeeNumber]) or.. 2) Setting a relationship between the Employee table EmployeeID and the main table EmployeeID, in a query, simply drag the Name field onto the grid.. There is no need to store both fields. SignatureFred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail |
