Access Combobox SQL query not updating

When a form opens, the recordsource and any rowsources for listboxes and combos are populated.  The recordsets are refreshed periodically and will "see" updates and deletes but will not "see" additions.  To see additions, you must use the .Requery method.

If the Rowsource is being updated using a form, you can have the AfterUpdate event of that form check to see if a particular other form is open and if it is, then requery the combobox in question but this only works if the same user is updating the RowSource as using it.  If some other user adds a new item to the RowSource table, it will not be reflected in the RowSource of any form opened by a different user.

Thanks Pat. I have made it work using the requery on got focus event of the combobox. It does require to focus on a different item eg textbox and then back onto the combobox to trigger it.

There is an alternative method I want to try but am having trouble specifying the combobox in the location I am running the code.

 I update the contacts in a form. On that form I have a 'Save' button that triggers a refresh on clickk event but I am thinking I could put the combo requery in that event as well. However I cant seem to make it find the combobox. The combobox is called 'StructuralEngineer' and is in a form called 'FormSE' which is a child form in the main form 'Switchboard'  

What is the correct syntax?

Thanks

Works fine now thanks.

You're welcome.  Don't forget to close the question.
