Combobox: Limit to List... No warningmessage??

[AccessFreak]

A very weird thing occured. I have some comboboxes with a limit to list property set to yes. If a enter drobdown content which is not in the combobox data, there had to popup a warning message saying need to select a drobdown content.

It just stay in the field until I select one... but where is the warningmessage.

Now it doesnt show up..

Next thing is i have some formfields with currency values. But if i type in soms letters it doesnt give me the warningmessage also...

It just stay in the field until I type in some numbers... but where is the warningmessage.

whats happend.

did you perhaps set the warnings to false??


put docmd.setwarnings=true in the onload event of the form and see what happens

but if you limit to list, you cant exit the combo until youve picked something - and you'll just get the standard "not a valid selection (whatever it is)" wont you - not a custom message

if you just type, till there are on matches, you just wont get a message - until you try to tab off the field

Yeah thats what i mean. It's not a custom message. It's the access standard warning message. If i tab nothing happens. The focus stays in in the drobdown menu untill i select something.

But if i tab nothing happens.

But maybe i need to set docmd.setwarnings=true in the form load.

Sorry my bad.. The warningmessage only occuer when hitting the tab or enter key.. I DOES NOT OCCUER WHEN SELECTING ANOTHER FIELD WITH YOUR MOUSEBUTTON. I THINK THAT'S WEIRD.. But oke..

surely it doesnt let you click on another field, with an invalid selection in the combo box?
