I have two table (tblA and tblB). Each has a form (frmA and frmB).
Table A contains names of people ("names"). Table B contains a combo box
that looksup to the Table A "names." The combo box properties are set to
"limit to list: yes."
Now, when the names are displayed in the drop down for the combo box, and I
don't see the name I need, I use a command button to open frmB and I add a
new name. So far, simple enough. BUT, the problem is that once I've added
the new name to frmB and go back to frmA (using another typical command
button), the name I have just added (in frmB) is not displayed in the combo
box. In order for it to be displayed, I have to do all sorts of silly
clicking (such as selecting a name I don't want, then moving back on record,
then forward one record, or something equally ridiculous!)
Please, does anyone know how to update the combo box entries, when those
entries are based on records that are newly added to another form?
Thank you so much!
