Question : Access questions re: forms

Hi all,

I am trying desperately to get this database finished (I am behind on the due date!). My form frmEnterAdditionalInfo needs to:
1. Capture information that isn't imported from an excel spreadsheet
2. Add those fields to tblTransactions

I am unable to get the sql to work for the synchronize combo box (the sql statement is missing something apparently) and so I went on to the append queries which gives me an error message of duplicate clientID & transaction. I need to append the Interest Rate & Inflation Rate as separate records in tblTransactions. I thought by using 2 append queries it would do that but apparently not. (Bummer...)

This is the SQL statement:

Private Sub cboClientID_AfterUpdate()
Dim strSearch As String

strSearch = "[ClientID] = " & (Me!cboClientID)

'Find the record that matches the control
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst strSearch
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark

End Sub

Thanks so much for your help and let me know if I didn't explain this very well.

Ok, from scratch.

Beginning with your uploaded test-db.mdb file:

1. Open tblFundingMeth in design view.
2. Change the Data Type of field FundMethID to AutoNumber.
3. Save & Close the table.
4. Open frmEnterAdditionalInfo in design view.
5. Right click on the cboClientID control and select properties.
6. Select 'Data' tab.
7. In the Control Source Property select 'ClientID' from the available drop-down box.
8. In the Header of the property sheet, click on the drop down box and select 'Date'.
9. In the Default Value field enter: =Date()
10. Save and Close the Form.
11. Press [Alt] + [F11]. (To open the vba editor.)
12. Open the Form_frmEnterAdditionalInfo page.
13. Delete the procedure cboClientID_AfterUpdate().
14. Copy and paste the code I have provided above into this page.

If you follow these steps you sbould be up and running.

I have attached the updated version of the test-db file as well in case you need further reference.

Hope this helps, let me know how it goes...
