Hi All,
Situation:
I have an Order form with an Order Details sub form.
The sub form has 3 fields (cboCategoryID; cboPublicationID & Quantity)
I use the cboCategory drop down field to filter the cboPublication field (so I don't have to see 100 pub's each time). I finally got the filtering to work correctly by adding "[Forms]![frmOrders]![SubForm].[Form]![ cboCategoryID]" to [tblPublications]![CategoryID] criteria.
Problem:
When I enter my first record (publication) in my subform the cboPublicationID field filters correctly from the cboCategoryID field option I selected. Problem comes when I move down to the next record and pick a new cboCategoryID option, as the cboPublicationID field filter still uses the first filter option. So if I filter for books only on the first record and I filter for videos on the next record, the cboPublicationID field is still filtering on books. If I close and reopen the orders form a few times I can get the new record to filter correctly. Tried using the Me.Recalc option in the cboCategoryID AfterUpdate event but it clears all the cboPublicationID field records, I just need the current record to recalc.
Question:
Is there a way to Recalc the CurrentRecord only in my sub form or some other way I can get the cboPublicationID field to pick up the new cboCategoryID filter option?
Thanks big in advance!!!!

Have you tried refreshing or requerying the combo box underlying query?

Yes. Requerying blanked out all the records on the current form.
Refresh didnt updated the sort data. I’ve tried many; many different scenarios. Thanks for asking. I plan on trying the following SQL next:

    Dim strSQL As String

    strSQL = " SELECT tblPublications.PublicationID,tblPublications.Publ icationName, tblPublications.PubCode, tblPublications.CategoryID FROM tblPublications Where tblPublications.CategoryID = Combo1 AND tblPublications.LanguageID = Combo2 ORDER BY tblPublications.PublicationName;"
    PublicationID.RowSource = strSQL
    'DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
