From: Bob H on 31 May 2010 04:50 I created/inserted a combo box on my form to select records from the form. So the combo box has a list of records from the querry, and when I select a record from the combo box, all the rest of the data/information about that said record is then shown on the form. Which sample Microsoft database are you referring to, because I have looked at the Northwind database and it looks like it is an mdb file.

The combobox is unbound, and I have a button which brings up a subform, that also doesn't work in the mde file. I think I'll leave it as an mdb file for the moment.
