I'd Like to use the entered vale in a bound combo box as a criteria for a field in a query. How would i go about doing this. In the query setup access won't allow me to search forms and i don't know how to copy the vale from the combo box into something else so i could query it.

on your criteria line (in the qry) enter the following:
[forms]![formName]![ComboBoxName]

This technique works great... I got the tip from this forum!
