hello, <br />
am attaching a sample database with 2 forms.<br />
open database and open form1-<br />
I have &nbsp;code in combo box.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;[Dim rs As Recordset<br />
&nbsp; Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone<br />
&nbsp; rs.FindFirst &quot;[ClientID] = &quot;&nbsp;&amp; Me.cboSelectClient.Value<br />
&nbsp; If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark]<br />
<br />
I realized I can also create with the wizard (form2)-the same type of search.<br />
<br />
question: they both use the same query in the row source of the combobox.But I don't understand how form2 can work without the code that form1 has.<br />
Can you explain the differences of the two forms?<br />
thank you<br />

hello, 
am attaching a sample database with 2 forms.
open database and open form1-
I have  code in combo box.
   [Dim rs As Recordset
  Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
  rs.FindFirst "[ClientID] = " & Me.cboSelectClient.Value
  If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark]

I realized I can also create with the wizard (form2)-the same type of search.

question: they both use the same query in the row source of the combobox.But I don't understand how form2 can work without the code that form1 has.
Can you explain the differences of the two forms?
thank you
