Query parameter from listbox

[CJ]

Hi Groupies

.........I detest list boxes......however, my database has a couple.

I need to be able to capture the value of the item selected in the list box
on my form and use the value in the first column as criteria in a query. My
darkest fear is that this is not possible in a query and I will have to
delve into the code behind the list box. Code is not my forte...

I have tried:

[Forms]![frmSiteReturns]![lstOnSite].[Selected]
[Forms]![frmSiteReturns]![lstOnSite].[Value]
....neither of which return anything...
and
[Forms]![frmSiteReturns]![lstOnSite].[Item]
....which returns an error.

Is this possible? If not, how can I capture the data?

Hi

Unfortunately, your suggestion did not work. It listed all of possible items
from the entire database.
I ended up using a text box on the form to capture the value and then
referenced the
text box in my query.

Thanks for taking the time!

Make sure the ListBox's Properties are like this:

Multi Select: Simple
Bound Column: 1


Then use this reference in the query:

PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmSiteReturns]![lstOnSite] TEXT;
SELECT ...
... etc. ...

Change the data type of the ListBox value (it's TEXT now) to whatever it
really is, before using.

Hi Bonnie

I thought I had tried that but I guess not.

Thanks for the info!

Hi CJ

Forms!frmSiteReturns.IstOnSite.Column(0)

List/Combo Boxes are numbered starting with zero. First column is zero,
etc.
