Passing value to Query Criteria from a ListBox

[Atif]

I am using Access 2007.

Presently I am using a Command Button to call a Macro which opens a Query in
Pivot Chart view.

Now I want to use a ListBox which has these options NAE, NAW and EU. How can
I pass selected option from listbox to query so that it only show the
specific region data i.e. NAE or NAW or EU.

Hi:

My form name is Switchboard. Why Query Criteria not able to recognized the
Listbox. I believe some syntex error. keep in mind i am using Access 2007.

Thanks

The switchboard is doing some background stuff from a table. I wouldn't run
it off the switchboard, I'd open a little form with the selection.

Try that with this:

forms!switchboard.ListSalesRegion.Column(0)

Make the criteria for that field equal to the listbox.

Yes I created myself and named it as Switchboard

Before I go any further - did you create a form yourself and name it
switchboard or are you talking about the switchboard the system creates.

A list box has no 'value', it just has lot of rows (selected or not), and
lot of columns. A text control, or a combo box do have a (one) value, not a
list box.

Hi Bonnie:
I changed the Form Name as "Menu" the result is same

Hi Michel:

I assiged the Listbox value to a text box;
List box Clic event code:

Private Sub List82_Click()
Text86.Value = List82.Column(0)
DoCmd.OpenQuery "SalesGroupManager", acViewPivotChart
End Sub

expression in Query Critaria is:
[Forms]![Text86].[Value]

the error is same " engin does not recognize [Forms]![Text86].[Value] as
Valid Field or Expression.

You need to not use the name Switchboard - the system uses it.

Thanks alot for the help.

actually it was not a Syntex problem, I was running a Select Query based on
two Crosstab queries. Now I have changed crosstab queries to select and
everything working fine.

Michel:

we can use listbox to passvalues to a Query
[Forms]![Main]![GrpMgrNo]
GrpMgrNo is a ListBox.

thanks
