I guess a big part of this problem is that I have been so busy putting all the information into the form, that I have only taken an ancillary look at the reports and saw no obvious way to output the data from the form to the report. This very likely is the screwdriver that everyone is talking...

I appreciate your analogy, but working within the confines of the program's capabilities I have very successfully achieved my goal while using the hammer to remove the screw. My frustration lies in the fact that every field that I am working with--except the listbox--allows me make the border...

Well, we don't all use Access in the same ways. I'm using the forms to pull information off a series of static tables that make up the database in order to run calculations that quickly provide me with results based on that information; I then output the results into a sheet that is easy to read...

Thanks, but that won't work for me. I need to be able to make a selection from a combobox in one section that will narrow the selections into either another combobox or a listbox, from which I can then make a single choice...and I want to be able to see all the narrowing selections. These...

Thank you for the response. Please excuse my ignorance. I have been searching for a bit now and I don't understand how you can get a list in a text box.

I appreciate the quick response. I am using the form to enter data, which I then want to print and save as a PDF, but I'm new to Access so okay, I can recreate this as a report. Before I do this though, I just created a test listbox, formatted it, and exactly the same thing happened. The...

I am using a form that will be filled out and saved as a PDF, it has comboboxes, listboxes, tabbed field, and text fields that all work perfectly for what I am trying to accomplish. Woo-hoo! Now I am trying to pretty it up some, I've successfully added titles and graphics, but as I try to get...

I had bookmarked this page from a previous search through the forums; at the moment it makes little sense to me, but I'm sure as I learn more it will be helpful. Thank you.

Thanks Pat, as I am still learning, this was a very helpful explanation. It took me a little while and a couple of errors before I realized that the expression you provided goes into the AfterUpdate field in the combobox, also had to remove a couple of parenthesis, which I feel is great practice...

Each of the combo boxes is a column from a table. There are three different tables that make up this database: Type ThreatRating ArmorsType and three combo boxes from which I am pulling data to display in a series of formatted unbound text box fields on a form. TypeCBox TRCbox ArmorCBox...

Thank you for the quick response. I apologize, but I don't understand your solution. From my limited understanding, I know dlookups are not the best way to do things and there seems to be many different methods of getting the data, however, from my understanding dlookupos are one of the...

Good morning. I've been scouring forums for the past few days trying to figure this out to no avail. I am new to Access, watching learning videos and such to teach myself in order to have a good base for a new job that I will be starting soon, so I apologize if this comes across as a dumb...
