Prevent combo box value change

[HilcrRWise]

I have a form with a combo box used to list names. What I want t
happen is that initially a person selects a name from the combo bo
enters relevant details in other fields on the form, but when they mov
on to a new record the combo box doesn't change so still shows the nam
selected in the last record. I want this to continue until a record i
selected that has already been created and that has a different nam
entered, in which case the combo box will show that name, and wil
continue displaying this name for new records until again another nam
has already been entered, and so on.

I already have the combo box setup so the value selected is entered i
to a table, but whenever a new record is created the combo box i
blanked off.

Is this possible?

I am a newbee when it comes to VB coding so if this is required pleas
try to explain what each step does.

Thank

Hi,

Using VBA code you could do something like the following:

Option Compare Database
Public strValue As String

Private Sub Combo10_AfterUpdate()
strValue = Comb10
End Sub


- Then set the Control Source of a textbox control on the Form (make it not
visible) =[strValue]
- Then make the DefaultValue of your ComboBox equal to your textbox control

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
