Combo Box Where Clause

[Guest]

I have a form that is based on a query. On that form is a combo box field
called "Entered By" with a sql statement for the rowsource. For data entry
purposes, I want to exlude those users who are no longer with the department.
However, when the form is in edit or view, I want the name of the user to
appear. When I include the Expire field in the sql where clause and I view
previous entries for expired users, I can not see their name on the form.

The sql statement is:
SELECT tblUsers.UserID, tblUsers!FirstName & " " & tblUsers!LastName AS
FullName
FROM tblUsers
WHERE (((tblUsers.Expire)=No))
ORDER BY tblUsers.LastName;

Any help will be greatly appreciated

What I do is put a textbox in exactly the same position as the
combobox.Set the combobox.visible property to false
bind the textbox to the underlying field, and remove the bind
from the combobox.

Put a statement in the combobox afterupdate event to put the
combobox value into the textbox.

In the On Current event of the form, test if there is a blank in
the textbox, and if it is, make the combobox visible and the
textbox invisible. If it is not empty, you invert the .visible
values.

One thing you might try is, in the Current event of the form check to see if
you are on a new record (Me.NewRecord). If so, modify the RowSource of the
combo box to exclude expired users; if not, modify the RowSource to show all
users.

Add an unbound checkbox to your form, label it "Show All Users" and set its
default to False. Change your Where clause to:
WHERE (((tblUsers.Expire)=Forms!NameOfYourForm!NameOfTheCheckBox))
Put the following code in the AfterUpdate event of the checkbox:

I tried that, but could not get it to work. I am not very good at VBA yet.
Also, I have a macro that runs from the On Current of the form for something
else. Does one cancel the other out?

That's a good question. My guess would be that both should execute, but I'm
not sure. You say "could not get it to work"; what did happen when you tried
it? What code did you use in the Current event?
