Control Can't Be Edit; it's bound to AutoNumber field 'EventID'

[james_IT]

Hi,

When i try to select a record from a combo box this message appears in the bottom of the screen :

Control Can't Be Edit; it's bound to AutoNumber field 'EventID'

It will not let me choose a PK/ID. what am i doing wrong or what setting needs to be changed?

thanks

If you are trying to select a record from the underlying recordset for the form then your ComboBox should *not* be bound! Use the wizard to create another ComboBox that will "find a record" and you will see what is in the AfterUpdate event.
