I'm trying to figure out the best way to refresh data in a dropdown list on a form. The dropdown list contains customers, and the form that the dropdown list is on has a button to click on to open the "edit customers" form. When I click on that button and add a new customer, then close out the "edit customer" form, the name doesn't appear in the dropdown list until I close and reopen the original form. What can I do to refresh the list when the other form closes out (or if I have to, have an update button next to the dropdown list).
I tried this code (linked to a button), to close and reopen the form at the same record, but it doesn't work.
Private Sub Update_Click()
'Store the ID of the current record, so we can come back to it
Dim Product As String
Product = ProductID
'Close and reopen the form at the record to refresh the customer's column
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm "Products", WhereCondition:="ProductID
=" & Product
End Sub
The reason it doesn't work is it reopens the form, but gives me a dialog box to enter the "ProductID" into, rather than going to the record that contains "Product".
Any help is appreciated, give me things to try!
