Re: combo box lookup

Tracy

Both "Name" and "Date" are reserved words in Access. You will probably end
up confusing both yourself and Access if you keep using these as field names
(or have I misunderstood?).

Without seeing the code behind the AfterUpdate event on that combo box,
there's no way to tell how it is returning the "John Smith" record, or how
the date value is related.

My form is to track time worked by Name and Date.

I have the Combo Box drop down showing Name and Date, but when I select a
choice in the menu (ie: Column 1 Smith, John Column 2 05/01/2006). It
calls up Smith, John record but the date column does not correspond with
the
record that was called upon.

Is there a way to make this selection using 1 combo box, or do I need to
do
it with 2.

Thank you
Tracy
