Hi

I have a combo box on one of my forms to select a users name from a table
called Users. On the form, for visual information only, I want to see some
other information about the user contained in the same table - Users. I have
used the following in an unbound text control on the form to show this:

=[UserName].Column(1)

This works fine and shows the data as expected from the next column in the
Users table. However, when I do the same for the next column using
=[UserName].Column(2), try as I might nothing shows, despite the fact that
there is data in that column. This also applies to the other columns in the
table when I try and refer to them in the same way - only the first column
shows. What am I doing wrong?

Did you increase the columncount from the combobox. Set the form in
designview look for the properties of the combo and set the columncount to 3
(or as many as you think you might need). After that set the columnwidths as
wel to something like: 1,2,2 (or ; depending on your regional settings).

Fixed!
