Hi there
I created a data access page in MS Access 2000 pro.
The page consists of a combo box that looks up a customer list and inserts the customer infomation into the field text boxes below.
When using my table it works fine, but as soon as I use a querie no customer names appear in the combo box.
The funny thing is that if there is no critria specified in the queries it works fine, but as soon as I add critria to sort out customers from A-C / D-L and M-Z (These are 3 queries for the same page) it do's not appear. Is there away to get around this or fix the problem.
Thanks.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Regards Paul
 
Hi all
I worked my own problem out Data Access Pages dont use the same wild cards as normal Access forms. They use ASCI 2 wild cards so in my querie I was using "like(*)" to sort out the Alphbetical order of my customer list and Data Access pages do's not recanise that character. Instead I should have used a (%) sign, Whick I did and it worked perfectly.
Hope this info could help some of you.
Cheers
