Wonder if anyone has a possible solution to my problem. I am working on a
bowling database and essentially it manages bowling leagues. I have main form
that displays the different league one might want to manage, as you scroll
through each league, you can then view/create schedules for each week. IE
which team is playing which team. My problem comes when I select a team from
the combox box which is in a subform. I only want to be able to see the teams
that are in that league, not ALL of the teams in the database. How can I work
it so that my combo box will only display those teams that are in the league
that is selected in the main form, similary once I have solved this problem
it should enable to solve the problem of only displaying only those bowlers
that are enrolled for a specific team via a combo box and not display all of
the bowlers in the database

Any help would be gratfully received

Kind Regards

You likely can filter the Row Source query that is used for this combo box
by using the control on the main form that contains the league ID value:

SELECT TeamName FROM TableName Where LeagueID =
Forms!MainFormName!ControlWithLeagueIDvalue
 
OK Thanks for that I have entered the following SQL:

SELECT tblTeamName.TeamID, tblTeamName.TeamName
FROM tblTeamName
WHERE (((tblTeamName.LeagueID)=[Forms]![frmLeague]![LeagueID]))
ORDER BY tblTeamName.TeamName;

It gives me the following error:

Enter Parameter Value
Forms!frmLeague!LeagueID

Have you any idea whatthis means, although when I enter the league ID in the
input box it does work! I'm halfway therebut it would be great if I didn't
have to enter the league ID myself

Kind Regards

It means
(1) there is no form named frmLeague open at the time the query runs;
(2) there is no control named LeagueID on the form frmLeague.

Thank you Ken. Have managed to get it to work - will now try and implement it
It means
(1) there is no form named frmLeague open at the time the query runs;
(2) there is no control named LeagueID on the form frmLeague.
