Populating a table using combo box, multiple selections

[finsmith]

I found this in another thread. it is similar to what I am looking for.

I may be doing it incorrectly. But if it is possible to have a drop down box, selecting the item, hitting next (for the next item, not record) and then using sql or concat to join all the items together in a query.

I might be going about this wrong, I should probably be using a list box. again, storing multiple selections in the same field, for 1 record. is this possible?

thanks again.

You can have multi-value fields but I never use them. And that won't really help you for filtering the records.

Yes, use an unbound listbox to select multiple filter criteria. Review: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-50.html

I really dont care about having it filtering the records, I just want it to say, ok these three selections correspond with this record.
and then print the record ina query.
I was having trouble printing the query. I have this as an example. again new to access vb code

thanks.

So what is the issue? The db you provided works. The report opens only with employees selected in the listbox.

trying to propagate it into a query...

Don't understand. The report in the db is working. The filtering takes place so it is 'propagated'.
