Save Button

[Ringers]

I have designed a form with a series of drop down boxes and tick boxes, purely to show different combinations avaiable from a piece of software.

There is also a save button at the bottom of the form. Now what I need to do and don't know is how to configure the button to save/extract the selections somewhere. Say to a file or report. I need to able to export the results later on in a readable format.

thanks for any help.

Why not save the information to a table?

Then for your report you can use a query.

I don't mind how I just some way of export each different selection.

To reiterate CaptainD, Use a table. bind the drop down boxes and tick boxes to fields in the table. create query.

I need to able to export the results later on in a readable format.

create report based on query. Or do you want to export the information like in your other thread?

I tried making a query and got some error. I am able to goto file and export it will export one load of data. Which is exactly what I want but it overides the next lot of data when I export again.

Can anyone suggest a way to export from a form with combo boxes to a file?

I wish I could program in VB cause I reckon you could write a program within a command button to do it.
