Title:
Combo doesn't show values which aren't from row source
My combo box won't show values in the field it's sourced to if the values aren't in the row source. Is this a bug or is there some switch I haven't set right?
Here's how to reproduce this: Make a form with a combo box, a button bar, and two tables in the environment. One of the tables is the row source, one is the control source.
Open the two tables in browse mode, and set them up so you can see the values in your control source field as your form browses through them via the button bar, and you can see all the values which are in your row source.
Run the form; probably none of the values in your control source will show up on the form as you browse through them with the button bar, unless some happen to also be in the row source. Now change one of the values in the control source list to be the same as one of the values in your row source. Use the button bar to move your form over that record; now that value shows up in the combo box. If you change it so that it isn't the same as a value in the row source, it will disappear again. What's up with this?
Please help if you can.
