From: Pierkes on 30 May 2010 13:50 Hi, I have a form on which i present al lot of data from a database. On the form is a comobox which i use to select the right record en present the data of this record on the form. When i open de form, de combobox is empty (which is good !) but the rest of the form is already filled with the data of a record in the database (which is not good). When i choose a record for the combobox, the form is filled with the data of that particular record (which is good). So the only problem i have is on opening the form. Is it possible to open the form without it being filled with data of a certain record (so is see a blank form) ? Help will be much appreciated! Pierre

Create a record without any information. That means with no entries, except of one column. For example a 0 in a field with integer-values. When you open the Form, you will only see that 0 and nothing else. That is the most easy way to solve this problem, i guess. Greetings, J�rn

Simply add a WHERE 1=0 clause to the form's recordsource (saved query or SQL statement). You will need to reassign the form's recordsource in the AfterUpdate procedure for your combo box. I have an example that uses a main search form with a subform, but is is a bit more complex that simply using a combo box. But, it does reassign the recordsource for the subform with each query run.

From: Steve on 30 May 2010 14:51 Hi Pierre, Add code to the open event of the form that opens the form to a new record. Your form will then be blank. Then when you choose a record ftom the combobox, the form will display that record.

No, Steve, the form will not display the record of interest. The reason is that the recordset contains no existing records. Try it out if you don't believe me.
