Opening a subform by selection in a combo box?

[Ketcham488]

I have a form that contains a form (Contain business data) and a then a sub form that hold the companies history of donations. BUT I also have another forms that hold miscellaneous data that I would like to look at also in the sub form area.

I want to select the sub form by a combo box to show the "sub forms"I want to look at by selecting a menu from a combo box. Thank you in advance!

I have worked with Access for years but some reason the combo box has always been difficult for me to completely understand.

Hello,

Why don't you use tabs control with each sub form that you want.

Another way is to manage the visibility property of your sub-forms at AfterUpDate evenement of the combobox, a code like :

Sub Combo_AfterUpdate()
Select Case Combo
     Case 1
          Me.SFHistory.Form.Visible = True
          Me.SFNumber1.Form.Visible = False
          Me.SFNumber2.Form.Visible = False
     Case 2
          Me.SFHistory.Form.Visible = False
          Me.SFNumber1.Form.Visible = True
          Me.SFNumber2.Form.Visible = True

......
End Select
End Sub

Good continuation
