Combo Box updating record
I am using a form to sort for results on a report. i.e, select a "department"
I have a bound Combo box on the form that i use to select the criteria prior to running the report. i.e. Select Department 1 and only Department 1 items are displayed. Select Department 2 Department 2 is displayed.
This works fine.
When I close the form, the record prior to the selected record in the form is being updated with the last value in the combo box.
I DO NOT want to use this form to update any record, just select the criteria for the report.
I have tried to use an unbound combo box put it does not do the sorting in the report.
Any other options or code to prevent the Combo box from updating records?

I create a unbound combo box on the form which i use to select the division (Changed from Department as mentioned above) and a button which i then added the folowign code.
Private Sub Division_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "Project Tasks", acViewPreview, , "[Division] = '" & Me.cbodivision & "'" '<--- for text Division
End Sub
I get and error message
Compile Error:
Method or data member not found.
It references .cbodivision part of the code as the error
The Second Suggestion above opened the report but did not yield any data. It appears the filter part is not working

That means either that cboDivision is not the correct name of your combo box, or that the code is not on the same form as your combo box.
Double-check the Name property of your combo box, and ensure that you are running this code from a command button that resides on the same form as your combo box.

Both of our posts are essetially the same thing so you should be getting identical results if they are both being implemented properly.
Regarding not finding any records, that means that the reports recordsource does not contain any records that match the criteria you are sullplying. Does the Department field in your report's record source actually include any records for the value you are selecting in the combo box?
If you can post a copy of your database, it may be easier to help troubleshoot.

Here is my sample Database. the Form is the "Division Selection Project report", Report is the "Project Tasks". I checked everything you had mentioned. the error is gone but now i get a report with no results.
Any thoughts?

Can your code be altered to bring the report up in the report view? it is opening in Print preview.

Answered my question . Changed "Preview" in the code to "Report". I am still learning :)
Excellent - and leaving that parameter blank will send it directly to the default printer :)
DoCmd.OpenReport "Project Tasks", , , "[Division] = '" & Me.cbodivision.Column(1) & "'"
DoCmd.OpenReport "Project Tasks", , , "[Division] = '" & Me.cbodivision.Column(1) & "'"

If you have an unbound combo box for selecting departments, just use this code in a button click event:
Docmd.openreport "Myreport", acviewpreview,,"[Departmen
Or
Docmd.openreport "Myreport", acviewpreview,,"[Departmen
