Combo box selection to select records for form

Thats giving me Run-time error 13 Type Mismatch and doesn't clone the recordset

Here's what I have after your suggestion

Private Sub Combo144_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
   Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
    Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
   rs.FindFirst "[fld_JobID] = " & Str(Nz(Me![Combo144], 0))
   If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub

is this correct?

Sorry but I'm not sure what Nz means...

it seems to be breaking on the

Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone   line

if I mouse over the rs it says rs = Nothing

i found someone else having the same problem but I don't understand the explanation of what the fix is. see below

Question:

I am migrating an mdb database to an adp/SQL Server platform. On one of my
forms, when a user selects a record from a list, selected fields for that
record are displayed on the form. In Access mdb, I do this with VBA code on
the after Update event for the list:

Private Sub List17_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rs As Object

Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[primaryfield] = " & Str(Me![List17])
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub

THis doesnt work in adp. I gert an error message that says "Object doesn't
support this property or method."

If this is relevant, in the adp version, the List is populated by an SQL
view that the form is also based on (in the mdb version it was a query).

Do I need a totally differnt approach now, or can this VBA code be tweaked
to work?

Answer:

Split your .FindFirst into .MoveFirst and then .Find . ADO recordsets don't
have a .FindFirst method.

-using this info how would I transfer it to my code?

AHHH
the old ADo trick
gimme a few  - lemme do some quick dev

I believe I found it... this seemed to work

Private Sub Combo144_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
   Dim rs As Object
    Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
   rs.MoveFirst
   rs.Find "[fld_JobID] = " & Val(Nz(Me![Combo144], 0))
   If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub

but I'll credit you half for your help okay?

not sure if u can change the points/credit after opening the question
but I'm here to help - not scour people for points
another thing you might want to consider is the Group Filter control
It does what you are looking for and is really easy to implement
To limit items displayed on a page, add a group filter control

To add the control, open the page in design view
then, using your right mouse button, drag the field containing the data you want to use as the basis for your filter from the field list (on the toolbar) to the data section of the page

When you release the button, Select Group Filter Control from the submenu

Access will create a combobox on the page
When you go back to data view, the page only displays the records that meet the filter

Good Luck!

Thanks,

nahh don't worry about it... I just always appreciate the help. I'll look at the Group Filter Control.

Thanks again
