asked on
using list box column for query criteria
Hello,
I have a 4-column list box. I am trying to create a select query that will use the contents of two columns in the list box as criteria.
For now the list box is called List0 and is on a form called frmMakeModelFix1. The SQL statement I have tried is:
SELECT CabinetRecords.Manufacture
FROM CabinetRecords
WHERE (((CabinetRecords.Manufact
It is supposed to select the records from the table CabinetRecords where the Manufacturer is the same as the Manufacturer
in the selected list box record. Once it works, I will add criteria to further specify that the Model must be the same as that in the
selected list box record.
It doesn't work and gives me the message: "Undefined function '[Forms]![frmMakeModelFix1
It works with the bound column when you don't need to specify the column, just the list name.
Will what I'm trying to do work?

Thank you dathmagar and heer2351 for the further explanation.
I had noticed that I could reference the column from a text box as was required for the solution - and for that reason I felt
certain that I could reference the column as criteria in a query. I just thought I was doing it wrong.
thanks again.

The other way to do this is to create the row source of the list box in the after update event of the combobox dynamically:
private sub List0_afterUpdate()
me!List0.rowsource = "SELECT Manufacturer, Model, Type, Size, In_Use FROM CabinetRecords WHERE Manufacturer = " & me![List0].Column(0)
end sub
So you are appending the value of the column in the listbox instead of putting it in the string.
