Form and Subform Design,
Part 3:
Synchronized Combo Boxes
Key
Concept: Use the Query Criteria to look up
a value on a Form.
Plan: Synchronize two Combo Boxes and Filter the
Records in the MovieSearchSubform.
What Are
the Steps?
Create a
Table for the Genre.
Create a Query for the second Combo Box.
Use the
Expression Builder to write a Criteria that looks up a Field on the
MovieSearchForm.
Create a
Genre Combo Box
Automate
the Form with a Macro
Test the
Movie Search Form
Troubleshoot the Programming
What Are
the Issues? Many of the Movie Records are
incomplete: they have no Genre data. So, the Query needs to filter
out the Movies that do not have a Genre with a Criteria.
