Problem with combobox

[MikicaMika]

Okay, people, I need to create a certain from but I have no idea how to do it.

I have these two tables.



Table Worker:

ID, Name, Last Name, Gender, Office_ID. Id is a primary key.

Office:

ID, Name, Adress. ID is a primary key.

Relationship: Office_ID - ID

My task is this:

Create a form Office which contains all the columns from a table Office. Column ID must be replaces with a combo box. Values in combo box are chose wfrom a table Worker and this field must remember ID(Worker). The list in combo box must not show the primary key of a table Worker.

No idea how to do it. Please help.

Anybody?

I think you should be able to do most of this using the wizard.

Use the wizard to create the form.
Delete the ID control on the form and create a combo box control with the wizard to replace it.

I know, but the wizard is whats giving me the trouble.

Because once I select ID and let's say Gender, I hide ID and the only thing I can store in the field is the Gender. But ID must be stored but not shown in combo list. Tried fucking everything and it still wont run. It's so frustrating, I almost broke the laptop.

What are the current settings of the following properties of the combo box:

Control Source
Row Source
Column Count
Column Widths
Bound Column

What are the current settings of the following properties of the combo box:

Control Source
Row Source
Column Count
Column Widths
Bound Column

Control Source: Worker
Row Source: SELECT Worker.ID, Worker.Gender FROM Worker;
Column Count: 2
Column Widths: 0";1"
Bound Column: 1

Sorry for taking your time Bob. :/

Try changing the Control Source property to ID

Try changing the Control Source property to ID

Now it doesn't allow me to select anything in combobox. Oh God, I hate this.

Thank you anyway.

can you post a copy of your db

I don't know how to do that.

[Bob Fitz]

To provide db: Make copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression if over 500KB (2MB zip allowed), attach to post. Attachment Manager is below the Advanced post editor window, click Go Advanced below the Quick Reply window.

Attached is an example of what I think you are trying to do
