Hi
I'm creating a combo box but the numeric fields are not available for selection in the
Combo Box Wizard. Please help!
 
What numeric fields? For what purpose are you creating a
combo box? Is it to input data, to find records, to
filter records? What do you want to use for the row
source? That is, what is the source of information for
the list that appears in the combo box?
 
I sometimes use wizards to do some of the work, but I
usually need to modify the results. One thing to check
for is that the wizard recommends hiding the key field.
This might not be what you want. The other thing is that
the wizard might make assumptions about what you want to
see in the combo box. Be sure the column count and the
column sizes are what you want.

Hi, my combo bos is based on a select query. The query
selects the CustID (numeric), CustName, State, and Flag
(numeric).
The purpose of the combo box is to find the desired
customer and at the same time save that cust code in my
record.
The problem occurs when I am creating the combo box using
the combo box wizard, on the wizard screen where you have
to select the fields you want included, the CustID and the
Flag (both defined numeric in the server) are not even
displayed on the wizard screen as available fields.
What I did for now, I manually added the numeric fields
to the combo box properties and it works. BUT it is a lot
of manual adjustments here and there. I hope there's an
easier way to solve this problem. I really appreciate your
interest in my problem. Thanks.
