Its been a long time...need help

Hello all,
It's been a long time since I've fooled around with Access and have an issue that I could use some help with...

I have a form containing a subform. The main form has 1 combo box linked to another table.
The subform record set is from a query. The query criteria is from the cbo on the main form and I have but a little vba behind the combo box on the main form to run the query to ensure it is working. The subform based on the query never populates but
the query will open and work correct however... I do not want it to open (I know its written in the code to open) and its not populating my subform thats based on the query.

Hope I explained all that correct. Anyway, hope you all can help me figure this out.
Thanks!

Private Sub cboPlatformSelect_Change()
Dim cboPlatformSelect As Control
DoCmd.OpenQuery "EquipmentQuery"
DoCmd.Requery
End SubPrivate Sub cboPlatformSelect_Change()
Dim cboPlatformSelect As Control
DoCmd.OpenQuery "EquipmentQuery"
DoCmd.Requery
End Sub

It took all night and I guess I wasn't understanding what I was reading but I found my problem.
For anyone that is having the same issue here is what I was doing wrong.....

While the property of the subform "Link Master Fields" was set correctly to my combobox, the "Link Child Fields" was set incorrectly as I had it set to the primary key.
I changed the "Link Child Fields" to the corresponding field on the subform and presto! it worked.

Cheers!
PuJo

Sorry, but FWIW your code doesn't make a lot of sense:
- you Dim for a Control but don't use it and you're using the incorrect events. Not only is only 1 event required, it is the correct one - AfterUpdate (unless you want the query to run upon every keystroke assuming you allow typing in the combo box). That is what you're doing. It's much simpler than what you have. See here for example
