Hi all, hopefully somebody can help
The table structure is as follows:
tblCompany:
compID
compName
tblOffice:
offID,
compID,
add1, add2, add3 etc...
tblEmployee:
empID
Name, telNo, etc...
offID
I have a form that contains contact details for employees, all works ok using after update.
A cascading combo box, cmbComp, allows me to select a company, and inturn select the appropriate office, cboOff, and updates the corresponding tblEmployee.offID field correctly. Fields are automatically updated for the address also
cmbComp: RowSource
SELECT DISTINCT tblOffice.compID, tblCompany.compID
FROM tblCompany
INNER JOIN AdjusterCompanyOffice
ON tblCompany.compID=tblOffice.compID
ORDER BY tblCompany.compName;
cboOff: RowSource
SELECT tblCompany.offID, tblCompany.Address1,
tblCompany.Address2, tblCompany.Address3, tblCompany.Address4,
tblCompany.Address5
FROM tblCompany
ORDER BY tblCompany.Address1;
The problem I am having is that when i load a new record how to retrieve the data and automatically load the cmbComp and text fields.
The cboOff combo box loads correctly as the control source for this is the offID
I imagine there must be a way of setting the value on opening the record? Not sure how though. I dont think I can set the controlsource cmbComp or text fields, or can I?
Any help/point in the right direction appreciated, have been searching for a way to do this but cant get anywhere!
