Hi,

I have two combo boxes, one named Division, the other named Sub-Division.

I want to make it so that if you select (for example) Ambulance from the

Division list, the Sub-Division list will only show related items, like NHS,

Private, Air. The lists are as follows:

Ambulance

Air

NHS

Private

Voluntary

Vehicle Builder

Export

Distributor

End User

Group

Hospital

NHS

Private

Distributor

Industry

N/A

Mortuary

Distributor

Funeral Director

The code I have so far is:

----------------------------------------------------------------Sub Item_CustomPropertyChange(ByVal Name)

Select Case Name

Case "cboDivision"

Call SetSubDivision

End Select

End Sub

_______

Sub SetSubDivision

Set objInsp = Item.GetInspector

Set objPage = objInsp.ModifiedFormPages("General")

Set Division = objPage.Controls("cboSubDivision")

Select Case Item.UserProperties ("cboDivision")

Case "Ambulance"

cboSubDivision.List = Split("Air,NHS,Private,Vehicle Builder,Voluntary",",")

Case "Export"

cboSubDivision.List = Split("Distributor,End User,Ferno Group",",")

Case "Hospital"

cboSubDivision.List = Split("Distributor,MOD,NHS,Private",",")

Case "Industry"

cboSubDivision.List = Split("N/A",",")

Case "Mortuary"

cboSubDivision.List = Split("Distributor,Funeral Director",",")

End Select

End Sub

----------------------------------------------------------------I'm not sure if this is correct, or where to put it.

Help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Amy
 
Code behind an Outlook form is placed in the code window displayed by the

View Code command in design mode.

cboDivision sounds like the name of a control, not a custom property. See

http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=38 for an example of the correct

usage of CustomProperty Change and how to refer to properties of a control.

Hi Sue,

It was actually your solution I found online, and I tried to modify it to

suit my needs.

I've had a look at the site you posted, but I'm finding it a bit difficult

to understand.

If I go to the Value tab of Properties (as shown on the website), I have

actually used the name: Division. I used cboDivision when you go into Display

tab.

That suggests that Division is the name of the *property* and cboDivision is

the name of the *control*. Only the property value is relevant in this

scenario. "Division" would be the string value needed in your Case statement

in the Item_CustomPropertyChange handler and Item.UserProperties

("Division") would be the value in the later Select Case statement.

You should also change this statement:

Set Division = objPage.Controls("cboSubDivision")

to

Set cboSubDivision = objPage.Controls("cboSubDivision")

so that there is a cboSubDivision object variable for all the subsequen

cboSubDivision.List expressions.

*Slaps forehead* I can't believe I did that! Well spotted mistake :D

I think I understand what you mean now, so property name is like the field

name, which you see in the field chooser, and control name is basically the

name of the text box / combo box etc?

I've changed my script, and now works perfectly :D Thanks!
 
Yes, "property" and "field" are synonyms, and the property and the control

that displays it are two completely different entities.

Glad to hear you have it working.
