Combo Boxes Make Up Date...but only for this year

[LeslieJ via AccessMonster.com]

I have a form that counts the number of records created each month. I have a
combo box that has a list of years, 1;2007;2;2008;3;2009;4;2010. I have a
combo box that lists the months,
1;"January";2;"February";3;"March";4;"April";5;"May";6;"June";7;"July";8;"August";9;"September";10;"October";11;"November";12;"December".


After the month combo box is updated, there are two hidden text boxes that
are updated to be the first of the month and the last of the month.
Code is:
Me.txtStartDate = DateSerial(Year(), Me.cboMonth.Column(0), 1)
Me.txtEndDate = DateSerial(Year(), Me.cboMonth.Column(0) + 1, 0)

However, now that it is the new year I realized my super plan failed ) The
year in the code obviously takes this year, and doesn't take into account the
year combo box selection.

How can I make it acknowledge the option selected in the year combo box and
concactenate it with the date serial code?

What's Year()?

The built-in Year function requires an argument.

Have you tried

Me.txtStartDate = DateSerial(Me.cboYear.Column(1), Me.cboMonth.Column(0), 1)
Me.txtEndDate = DateSerial(Me.cboYear.Column(1), Me.cboMonth.Column(0) + 1,
0)

That doesn't make sense!

If you go to the Immediate Window (Ctrl-G), type

?Forms![NameOfTheForm]!cboYear.Column(1)

and hit Enter, what appears underneath?

I didn't think it made sense - because I had tried that too before I posted,
but I tried it again because I thought maybe I did something wrong the first
time.

When I entered the information into the Immediate Window, I got a run time
error when I pressed enter. It is:
'2186': This property isn't available in design view.

This is exactly what I typed in:
?Forms![frmQAM'sMonthly]!cboYear.Column(1)

I don't understand, the value lists for each of the combo boxes are exactly
as I posted because I copied and pasted them into my first message.

That doesn't make sense!

You'll get that message if the form is open in Design view as opposed to
Normal view.

I am so very sorry, thank you for your help and patience.

I tried it again, and I put in the year 2008 into the year combo box. I put
in February in the month combo box.
The two text boxes said the same as before 1905-02-01 and 1905-02-28.

Then when I put it in the immediate window it said it's getting the year 2008.

I just mocked up a form and it works fine for me!

Immediately before the lines of code

Me.txtStartDate = DateSerial(Me.cboYear.Column(1), Me.cboMonth.Column(0), 1)
Me.txtEndDate = DateSerial(Me.cboYear.Column(1), Me.cboMonth.Column(0) + 1,
0)

put

MsgBox "Year " & Me.cboYear.Column(1) & _
", Month " & Me.cboMonth.Column(0)
