I have some combo boxes that require user input. In Access 2000 I am linking to our ERP database (FoxPro) via ODBC. So, I cannot modify the table structure at all. For whatever reason, a lot of the fields have leading zeros. I have Limit To List set as Yes on the combo boxes.
Sample of the combo boxes:
I would like it if the user did not have to enter the leading zeros. However, if the user where to enter 47009, they would get the error:
The text you entered isn't an item in the list.
The fields are text and my row source looks like:
SELECT recid, recnum FROM receiver ORDER BY recnum;
and I am binding to the first column.
Is there a way I can force the user to what is in the list and not require them to enter the leading zeros?
