Need to refresh (requery?) a datasheet view subform from the main form combo box
Hello,
I have seen a billion threads that appear to be very close to what I need, but I still can't get it correct. I therefore apologize if this has already been answered. I have attached a generic version of the database I am building for your reference.
The main form is Value_Chain. This form has combo boxes at the top which input into each of my queries (I am aware the queries are inefficient). The results of 4 of the queries are shown as subform datasheets. I would like all these datasheets to update everytime a new selection is made in each of my combo boxes. Please note that the "Date" combo boxes are required selections.
Currently the subforms will ony update after a combo box change when I go to design view and back to form view. This is obviously not practical.
I am not an Access genius (obviously), so please simplify when providing explanations. I would prefer to not get into VBA, but I can if required (was thinking "After Update" event).
Thank you in advance for your hellp Example.zip

1) Open the Form titled: "Value_Chain" in "Form" view
2) Select the dates 08/01/2010 and 09/01/2010 respectivelyfrom combo boxes labeled "Start Date" and "End Date"
3) You will notice that nothing occurs
4) Change the perspective to "Design" view
5) Change the perspective back to "Form" view
6) You will see that the data has populated the subforms in datasheet view
I would like for point 6 to occur immediately after point 2.
Does that make sense.
