I am trying to pull the value the user selects from a combo box in a Where Condition for a macro. The Row Source for the combo box is a table where the first Column is the id numbers and the second Column is the data that the user chose.
I have tried both of the below statements with no luck
1) [Query]![value]=[Forms]![Main Menu]![Combo]
2) [Query]![value]=[Forms]![Main Menu]![Combo].[Column](1)
Where combo is my combo box
The first one I know is pulling the ID number which is not what I want. I have manually entered in a text box and found that if i set up my macro to match whats in the text box it will work correctly.
How can I pull whats on the second column instead of the combo box?
EDIT
The workaround I found was I now instead did an after update on the combo box to fill an invisible textbox, then i instead used that to pull the value I needed.
Such that:
[Query]![value]=[Forms]![Main Menu]![textBox]
