Combo Box Not Working

[aftab1965]

Dear friends !
I need your help. ( db Attached)
Im new to MS Access, I have 3 forms having combo boxes, each form is working perfectly. I created a Navigation Form (Main Form) , by attaching these (sub) forms to navigation Form, Combo Boxes on all forms(Sub) are not working.

Thanks

The syntax to refer to it changes when it's a subform:

Forms: Refer to Form and Subform properties and controls

Which is a good argument for not using Navigation Forms...most experienced developers don't!

Much better to 'roll your own' nav form'...where each Form is an independent Form to be opened!

Dear friend, thanks for your reply.
Can you please share me screen shot or a new db after removing anomaly

I could, but I'd rather you tried. The syntax for your situation:

Forms!Mainform!Subform1.Form!ControlName

replacing the items in red as appropriate.

Have to reference subform container name. Nature of Navigation Form is only one subform at a time is available. Clicking tabs unload and load forms as Navigation Target. This means all 3 SQL will refer to the same container name. Access assigns NavigationSubform as container name and you did not change it.

Thanks for guidance. I need your help as I'm new to Access. Can you please share a snapshot or a new db.

SELECT EQUIPMENT.Local_ID, EQUIPMENT.Notes, EQUIPMENT.Location, EQUIPMENT.Noun, EQUIPMENT.Model, EQUIPMENT.Make, EQUIPMENT.SNo, EQUIPMENT.Status
FROM EQUIPMENT
WHERE (((EQUIPMENT.Local_ID)=[Forms]![1Navigation Form]![NavigationSubform].[Form]![CboLocal]));
