    Macro Where Clause Help

    Hi, I have been messing with this for awhile now and thought I would ask for help. Please see my provided image. I am trying to open a form to edit a record and my search is not picking up the first and last name, only the last name. Any help with adding [first] to the Where clause and not get an error would be much appreciated. Thank you

    AFAIK, Access macros and queries cannot see combo or list box columns, only the value in the box. One option:

    Have a textbox pull info from the listbox: =Listboxname & " " & Listboxname.Column(1)

    Have a field in query that concatenates the two fields: FullName: [Last Or Business] & " " & [First]

    The where clause: "[FullName] ='" & textboxname & "'"

    This assumes listbox first column is not actually a hidden column containing a key.

    This would be much simpler if you used unique identifier such as autonumber PK/FK in criteria instead of descriptive text.
