Hi Joe,
Thanks for posting in the community!
From your description, I understand that you'd like to input parameters in the rowsource of a
combo box or a listbox. Additionally, you prefer the bast way to filter the values on another
controls' basis on the same form.
Have I understood the issue correctly and completely? If there is anything I misunderstood,
please feel free to let me know.
Based on my experience, In an Access Project (.adp) you can try to use a parameterized
stored procedure as the rowsource for a combo box. Set the rowsource property for your
combo box as below (without the prefixing @)
SP_rowsource Parameter (If fails, just use the name of the stored procedure -
SP_rowsource)
Make the other control of the same name than the parameter, and requery the combo box
with the rowsource bound to the stored procedure.
If the stored procedure does not make sense on your scenario, another way you can
implement is to dynamically change the parameter via a selection from another combo box.
I'm not 100% sure this is the best way but I believe you will have a good try. :
