    Form/Combo box parameter issue.


    I have one form and 4 queries.

    qry_part1
    qry_part2
    qry_sched
    qry_join

    frm_categoryselection

    I have 2 combo boxes on the form that have the categories loaded in from a query out of the table that houses all the categories.
    cmbo_part1
    cmbo_part2


    in qry_part1 the criteria is to just give me the info for those categories
    Code:
    [Forms]![frm_categoryselection]![cmbo_part1]
    in qry_part2
    Code:
    [Forms]![frm_categoryselection]![cmbo_part2]
    qry_join adds those two table together to give me the schedule with the part number the model takes that I have selected. If I select the motor and harness categories I should get the schedule with the part number that model takes for the harness and motor. It worked earlier today, I changed some thimgs but nothing that I thought would have been in this process but I evidently changed something on accident.

    I have a button that executes qry_join, at which point it propmpts for a parameter for "[Forms]![frm_categoryselection]![cmbo_part1]" and
    "[Forms]![frm_categoryselection]![cmbo_part2]" when it should be just taking that value from my form.

    What the H. It worked fine yesterday. I haven't changed anything major and now I cant get that link back together. Can anyone help me?

    Have you change the name of the comboboxes. Check that please.

    I hadn't initially, then I went through and changed everything. I used the builder to stave off any syntax/spelling errors. Then I changed it all back, being extra careful.

    I've even tried putting a new combo box on the form and trying to link it to that one in case I buggered up the default settings on the ones on the form already and broke it that way to no avail.

    I believe this project has become sentient and is trying to break my spirit!

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
