    title based on combobox

    Sounds like you need to store the Name of the Report they chose in a Table (ReportName) so that after they pick a name one time, it is always available to the reports. You can cause the Querys used for the reports to pick up that stored name and put it in the Header. You can create a Form to...

    title based on combobox

    I am not sure I understand either. I assume you have an underlying report you want to run and that the report is run off a Query. I assume then that the form is what you want the user to use to generate the Report and it has a combobox that the user selects that ONLY changes the Title to the...

    If the report is the SAME and All you ned is for it to report a different title based on the combo box slection, just create a Text Box in theForm Header and in that box, put in =[forms]![yourformname]![comboboxname] Edit: Can you beleive how bad my tying was on that.

    What causes a Combo Box NOT to automatically go to the entries when you start typing

    It is set to YES. Could it be becuase I have three items in the query/combobox, ContactID and two Expr's and the ContactID (number) field is the Bound Column with its width is set to Zero? I have no idea. It was working and now it does not. Could it be that I need to open the form with some...

    What causes a Combo Box NOT to automatically go to the entries when you start typing

    I have a form that selects Contacts from the contacts table to enter donations in the Donations table. Because there are companies and individuals in contacts (fistname, lastname and companyname fields) I set up the box to select as follows SELECT Contacts.ContactId, IIf([companyname] Is...

    Form using "From" and "to"

    I think you need to start with a Query that gets the data you want from your table with a Between clause in the Criteria for the Query. You can link the criteria to your form as follows: Between [forms]![yourformname]![FormFieldNameForStart] AND [forms]![yourformname]![FormFieldNameForEnd]...

    How do you Populate a field o a form based on a field in another form ?

    Edit: Yes it does, I will try the Macro. As to the structure and need for multiple tables, Caveat - I am NOT a programmer -- this is a volunteer project for Three Trees :) TableNames Below are made up for illustration of what I have (the actual names are worse - spaces and stuff I learned is...

    How do you Populate a field o a form based on a field in another form ?

    The form I am working with is to Add a NEW CONTACT (which is assigned a ContactID) and then Open a form to enter Famly Data for that contactID. It is not really populating a new form with data because the "Family" does not exist yet in the Family Table (both forms are being opened in Add mode...

    How do you Populate a field o a form based on a field in another form ?

    I did add the Description to the Donation table for the reason you stated Cosmo. I did not need a one to many relationship. I still, however, need to learn how to do this. For example, I have a table for Contacts where ALL contacts are entered. If the Contact is a Family we serve, I also...

    How do you Populate a field o a form based on a field in another form ?

    No, I did not. I am thinking it might work to set the Default Value of the field to the Form field you want it to match, but if you then change the main form, the sub form will not change unless you close and reopen. I have not tried it. There should be an easy way. It works in SubForms, but...

    Can you Print a Blank Form ?

    I would like to print out my Family Data Form to use as an Intake Sheet for Families. They fill out the same information in the same order as on the Form for entry of the data into the system. When I try to print the form all I get is a Header bar with nothing else. If I set to print data it...
