How can I clear a combo box. ie., I want to reload the combo. Like in VB
comboName.Clear is there but in MS Access how to clear the values and Reload
the value. Actually I lad the combo like this ...
rec.open "SELECT EMP_ID from EMP_mast ", adoopenforwardonly,adlockreadonly
while rec.eof = false
mycombo.additem rec!Emp_ID
rec.movenext
wend

Thanks in Advance.....

You should be able to clear a combo box by clearing its Row Source:

mycombo.RowSource = ""

As a note, however, you could set the Row Source of the combo box directly
to the SQL statement:

mycombo.RowSource = "SELECT EMP_ID from EMP_mast"

Just change the RowSourceType to Table/Query first.

Actully in Access you do not have to use the AddItem method. You
simply set the Row Source to an sql statement or query that returns
the recordset you want. You can have multiple colums of information
in any combo box but only show one column in the box. You can bind
any column but show multiple columns of info when the list is droped
down.

When you want to refresh the list (say after adding a new record to
the table(s) from which the combo box gets its data, just use:

me.NameOfControl.Requery

If you need to actually change the source (completey different sql
statement or query) just redefine the row source and requery the combo
box.

with me.NameOfControl
.rowsource = strSql '(variable that holds the sql string or us
the name of a query)
.requery
end with

code like this. Form!Myform!Mycombo.Requery. some time Its not refreshing
the combo....?

How are you inserting the value? It may be that you are requerying your
combo box before the Insert is written to the database.
