    Report based on combo boxes

    Hi



    I have a form with two combo boxes one displays the name of a cabaret act and the second then shows different versions of the cabaret act show. E.G ( Family, Adult etc)

    Within this form are a number of sub forms on different tabs each tab is for a different technical component of the act. E.G( Lighting,Video,Sound etc)

    The data within these sub forms change depending on which cabaret act is selected in the combo boxes.

    What is am trying to do but cannot work out how to is to be able to generate a report for each sub form showing the related data for what is selected in the combo boxes.

    At the moment when I generate a report it is showing me all of the versions for a particular cabaret and not what is selected in the combo boxes

    Tried to be brief but supply as much information as I could.

    I am kind of new to access reports and would really appreciate help with this.

    Many thanks

    Not sure why your report provides all records, unless maybe you've based it on a table and no filters are being applied.
    Create a query that provides all of the records (including the technical groups) based on the values that have been selected in those controls. Then create a report which is based on that query, and put sorting and grouping levels on the technical aspects. So for a given Act and Version combination (and a grouping on the technical), there should be a section for each technical aspect.

    An alternative is to use each of the queries you already have and apply them as you did for the form, but instead you apply them to the main report and its sub reports (one sub for each tab).
    The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.
