Hello, I'm trying to link an access spreadsheet to my small vb program. I'd like a drop down combo box to list all the id numbers in my spread sheet. This part I've got but I'd also like the record information to be displayed should the user click on an id number in the drop box. Could someone help?
 
turn on the control wizard on the toolbox, then put a combo box on your form. on the combo box wizard choose "find a record based on the value i selected in my combo box", after selecting the key attribute, drag and drop ur other attribute into the form. then u can change to table view, for every changes to the combo box, the other attributes will also change.

cheers
CS
