I have a lookup box that pulls up different contract numbers (Contractnum).
With those different contract numbers, I have a lookup box that pulls up the
different invoices with that number (Workordernum). My problem is I want to
only see the invoices for that certain contract number. Right now
(Workordernum) pulls up all the invoice numbers for the (contractnum) I
select.
J,
I think you mean your WorkOrderNum brings up ALL existing Invoices,
rather than just those Invoices associated with the selected ContractNum.
So, if I understand...
The query behind the RowSource of WorkOrderNum (combo box) must contain
the ContractNum field, with a criteria of...
(assuming ContractNum is on the main form)
=Form!frmYourMainFormName!ContractNum
You'll need to code a Requery for the WorkOrderNum on the AfterUpdate
event of ContractNum.
Now... WorkOrderNum should only show Invoices associated with the
selected ContractNum.
I have a 93 and 2003 sample file on my website below called Synched
Combos. It will show how the above is implemented.

When you select (contractnum) on my form, it brings up all the information
associated with that "contractnum". I have it set up when you select the
"contractnum" a new invoice generates for that specific "contractnum". For
example if I select the "contractnum" A9000101F then a new invoice would
generate F1006. The invoices generate Sequential. Now, I have a Invoice
Lookup box that looks up all the invoices. Now what I want to do is only
look up the invoices for lets say "contractnum" A9000101G, then what ever
invoices would come up in the lookup box(G1002, G1003, ect). I have it
where all the invoices pull up in the look-up box. I want to only see the
invoices by the "contractnum" I select.

What is the Parent->Child relationship between the two? You should have some
link between the two. Use that link as the filter criteria for the lookup
box. Use a refresh on change event to "refresh" the lookup box filter.

Hi,
I think us volunteers are having trouble understanding how your form is set
up.
Below is some of the info you sent:
When you select (contractnum) on my form, it brings up all the information
associated with that "contractnum". I have it set up when you select the
"contractnum" a new invoice generates for that specific "contractnum". For
example if I select the "contractnum" A9000101F then a new invoice would
generate F1006. The invoices generate Sequential.
I imagine that you have a form set to single form.
Make a selection from combo contractnum and the form uses a filter or find
first to show the details for that contractnum.
Is the above correct?
When the new invoice generates does the new invoice form open? how can
selecting a contractnum make the form show the details for that contractnum
and also generate a new invoice? please help me understand how your form
works.

I want to only see the invoices by the "contractnum" I select.
Where is the Invoice lookup box? what form is it on? is contractnum a combo
on the same form?
Are we looking at a form with one or two subforms?

Can you post a picture of your Relationship. That would help.
