    Nested combo box is not working

    Thank you DRahme Unfortunately still no joy. What is strange is that if I substitute a text box for the first combo box and typein the category it works. Is there something special I need to do with the combo box?

    Nested combo box is not working

    I should also add - that the row source is a table consisting of colums: Category and subcategory and relevant records are present

    trouble creating duplicate record due to key

    Rick you probably think I'm quite mad! - its not an autonumber field - but it is part of the key. I think its due to my SQL that the option field is not copying over!! - Its a long integer and I am obviously using the wrong syntax somewhere!! Do I need to change how I reference it? Fran

    trouble creating duplicate record due to key

    Hi Rick Works perfectly except for one thing - my table design. The key fiels of the options table is actually comprised of two fields, ra_no and option. Option is an autonumber that counts the options for that assessment. If I remove the key from the table and don't append the field option...

    trouble creating duplicate record due to key

    Hi Rick! my daft mistake!! Ra_No is a number that is automatically generated from the category chosen and a number field, which is updated via a routine which operates On Insert. It is not an autonumber. Is that why it doesn't work? I have removed my space, no longer get errors, but it...
