Re: Mimic Combo box by Text Box
I have a table, let's say CodeTable, which have 3 fields, code1, code2, and code3. Their corresponding descriptions are stored in table DescriptionTable. In other words, they are all referring to the same table. What I need to do is to show the code1, code2, code3 and their corresponding descriptions on the same form. Since DescriptionTable has more than 6,000 records, combo box will not be a good choice. I tried to use text boxes, i.e., 3 text boxes for the codes, and 3 for the descriptions. However, what I got for the descriptions are the same for all the three text boxes. To make the case worse, only code1 have a value all the time. Code2 and code3 may or may not have values. Do anyone know how I can accomplish my task? If text box is not a good choice, what else can I use?
Thanks in advance.
