    synchronized Comboboxes don't display info after navigating off of record in main for

    Thanks for contributing to this thread, missinglinq. I used bound controls mostly just because I am about 100x more familiar with using simple queries than by using any other method for this kind of purpose. So I am really comfortable with it. Question: What advantages are there in placing...

    synchronized Comboboxes don't display info after navigating off of record in main for

    I have changed my code to: Me![Assignment Form].Form!CboEmployeeSelect.Requery Me![Assignment Form].Form!CboToolSelect.Requery Me![Assignment Form].Form!CboVehicleSelect.Requery This looks to be more correct, but it did not make any difference. One solution is to put text boxes on the forms...

    Why are my table joins not sticking while designing this select query?

    thanks again, sneuberg. If taking all of the spaces out of all of the indexed fields in this project is all that I will need to do to get around this issue, than that is no big deal. Just really glad we might have our solution. I will make "repairs" throughout the file, and then see how that...

    Why are my table joins not sticking while designing this select query?

    Why are my table joins not sticking while designing this select query?

    Why are my table joins not sticking while designing this select query?

    Thanks for the input, guys. I did try to make the query work with two tables and then three and so on. The same set of tables caused the same problems regardless of "complexity" while the subject table and the Company and Employee tables worked well together. The fields that I am joining on in...

    well..... I've decided to stop worrying about this and just make copies of the existing "Correct" command buttons and doing the code using the macro builder. So far, seems to be working ok, and it's also pretty simple.

    Why has the theme for command buttons changed?

    MarkK: Changing the selection under Options/Current Database/Use Windows Themed Controls on Forms, did not effect any of the command buttons currently in use; which means, the inconsistency that I would like to eliminate is still there. However, it did make the next command button that I...

    Why has the theme for command buttons changed?

    Markk, Thanks for helping out. I took a good look at 'Use Windows-themed Controls on Forms' before posting about this. Just trying to figure out why the change if no one did anything to the Options under Options/Current Database. This is why this is so mysterious. I'm using 2016. I'll see...
