Combo box on a Switchboard Form

[MikeAngelastro]

Hi,

How can I put a combo box on a switchboard form that works? When you press the down-arrow the list appears but it is impossible to select anything. However, when you put a combo box on a normal form, it works as expected by allowing the user to make a selection from the list.

I tried making the switchboard a subform and then putting the combo box on the parent form. This works but presents other problems when I maximize the form. I'm no longer able to page through a report.

I'm using Access 97.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Mike

How about just using a regular form and create a switchboard with it? I have comboboxes and command buttons on it and they all work great.

Just my $.02 worth

I have already in place a many page switchboard. The addition of a combo box was a recent idea. How would I do such a thing without a lot of code? Can I create a regular form and copy the switchboard's buttons and code to it?

Thanks

Mike ... SomeGuy is right on target, and yes, all you need to do is create a new form and copy the controls over to the new form. You will have to be careful though to change the code references to the name of the new form, if you should not use the same form name.
