Continuous Form Dependent Combo Box

Once you have mastered the simple case of a dependent combo box on a single-record form it is time to move up to having a dependent combo box on a multi-record or continuous form layout.

We haven't come up with a truly seamless solution but we have managed to use a small trick to make the continuous form dependent combo box work.

In this downloadable example we overlay a simple text field on top of the combo box text area.  This overlay technique essentially hides the combo box records that don't have focus.  The text field is a dlookup for the Student Name based on the Student_ID selected in the combo box dropdown.

You can add additional code to the example to have the combo box automatically drop down when the user enters it.

I think the only problem with this method is the blinking of all the combo box fields when a value is changed - maybe this is just on my computer since it is slow.

Try out our Continuous Form Dependent Combo Box example.
