I was wondering if somebody can help with my default combo box problem?I have a secured database whereby users logon, which is used as a scratch pad for keeping track of Purchase orders. A Form frmUserInput with two relevant fields for this problem 1. User Initials txtUsersInitials and 2. POBook (Purchase Order Book) which is the combo box cboPOBooks both unbound fields on the form.
The txtUsersInitials is generated automaitcally when the form is loaded using a VBA statement txtUsersInitials = Current User.
The list of the combo box is generated from a table tbleUsersPOBook and uses a query qryUsersDefaultPOBook as listed below;
SELECT tblUsersPOBook.UsersPOBookName
FROM tblUsersPOBook
WHERE (((tblUsersPOBook.UserName)=[Forms]![frmUserInput]![txtUsersInitials]));
This generates a drop box showing the Different department codes for each individual. So for some it is only one item for others up to three codes, this part works fine...
However here is my problem.Since some people can sign off more than one Purchase Order book I have had to add an additional field in the table tblUsersPOBook called DefaultUsersPOBook which is a yes/no field, so only one yes exists for each user who logs on. I have created another query qryDefaultPOBook as listed below;
SELECT tblUsersPOBook.UsersPOBookName
FROM tblUsersPOBook
WHERE (((tblUsersPOBook.UserName)=[FORMS]![frmInputForm]![txtUsersInitials]) AND ((tblUsersPOBook.UsersPOBookDefault)=Yes));
When I place this query in the Default section of the combo box it gives me no result.
Firstly is it possible to have a varying default like this since each user will have a different default?
Or is there maybe a better way of achieving a default which is variable for each user based on thier default Purchase order book in the table tblUsersPOBook for the field "Yes" in DefaultUsersPOBook ?
