I'm trying to create a form that will let the user select which query to run from the combo box? How do I do that? Whenever I select the combo box it wants me to pick only one. Do I have to do something else; maybe to put all the query names in a table? As you can tell this is new to me and I'm at a loss how to go about this.

Thanks . . . texasalynn
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
The easiest way is just to write all of your queries into a table, make that table the recordsource for the combo box, and then tell it to open that query in the After_Update event of the combo box. I'm not sure about your experience with VBA, but the procedure would be:

Your_combo_after_update()
docmd.open query Your_combo, acnormal, acedit
End Sub

*You can actually have the database write its queries to a table automatically, but that takes quite a bit more code to accomplish. Search around for examples if you're interested.
