Access VBA use list box in form to update combo box
Hi
I am using the following code to open a form with a listbox on it. I want the ListBox to contain
the same data as a ComboBox that was next to the button. When the user selects an item from the listbox I want the form to close and the combobox to have that item selected
Private Sub btnManufacturer_Click()
Dim frm As Form
DoCmd.OpenForm "f_List", acNormal
Set frm = Forms("f_List")
End Sub

You may have to supply a sample database, or screenshots.. this is not very clear.

Hi Neil. The image shows the ComboBox called Manufacturer_Combo. When the user clicks the button to the right it opens a form called f_List
shown to the right. I want to populate the ListBox called List1 on that form with what is in Manufacturer_Combo. When the user then selects an item from the LIst1 listbox it closes the formand puts the selected text into Manufacturer_Combo

Why no simply copy the RowSource?

I don't understand what m_Params() = Split(Me.OpenArgs, ";") does and this results in a sub or function not defined error

Daniel thanks. What code would I use to copy the row source. It looks like Ste5an is doing something like that
