Solved Textbox does not always update after combobox selection

[silentwolf]

Hi guys,

came across a issue in my form and would like to get some help please.

In one of my subforms I have a combobox "cboModelType" and a textbox "txtModelType"

The Combobox get its value from a qryModelTypeSorted.

When I select a Model from the combobox I like to place the TypeName into the textbox

In my Textbox I got following =[cboModelType].[column](2)

For some reason it does not update the textbox correctly or better not always, sometimes the textbox gets filled with the Model of my selection.

On some other Models it works so I am not sure why is that and how to be able to fix that.

Hope that is enough Info?

Cheers

Might be better if you could post a demo db to show the problem.

Well I did but can't seam to see the issue.

And what is strange that it is sometimes working some other selection not.

The issue is on the sfmOrdModels in frmOrdersSingle.

Many thanks for help and taking the time lookin into it for me.

Hi. Thanks for posting a demo. I think I see the problem. But just to confirm, can you please tell me which item to select from the dropdown that shows the wrong value in the textbox?

Edit: Actually, I think I was able to understand what you mean by wrong value. If I understood it correctly, the problem lies with your bound column not having a unique value. When you have duplicate values in the bound column, the combobox will select the first matching item.

Hope that makes sense...

oh ok is there a way I can overcome this issue?

As I would love to select the item and show what has been selected in the textbox.

Or is it a set up problem?

Hi. To fix the problem, you'll need to add a unique value column to your Combobox and use it as your bound column.
