Bob, You seem to know what I'm trying to do. I've created a form that has 2 combo boxes and one text box. The second combo box is based on the results of combo box one. I want the text in the text box to be taken from a seperate table based on what is chosen in combo box 2(the source data...

Hello, I have tried to populate a text box based off what is selected from one of my combo boxes. I used help from this link http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?SQID=431685&SPID=702&newpid=702&page=3 The information worked fine except that the data that shows up in the text box isn't...

Jeremy, gave you a star thanks again!!

Alrighty... thanks Jeremy... you put me on to the right path. I actually had to uncheck the missing References on the list because it was causing some sort of conflict. I appreciate the assistance. Thanks again

Thanks for the reply Que.... what would have to be altered to allow this code to work with a unified database? Thanks again Charles

Bill thanks again for your help.... you did help me out partially that's what the star was for. I was wondering if I might be having reference problems. What are the references that the database should be showing? Thanks Charles

Bill, Let me first thank you for responding to my post with a very indepth and informative coverage of the Common Dialog. I will show you the code I am using. This code is begun when a command button is clicked and opens a dialog box allowing the user to select the path to an outside...

I created a database on a machine that had Windows 98 using Office 2000. I took this database to a Windows XP machine that has Office 2000 and the Common Dialog box button that I had made does not work. Can anyone tell me why and how to correct this problem? Will this happen if I install the...
