Can't Clear List In Datacombo!

[artstar]

Hello:

I have a datacombo3 that I can't clear the drop down list until I exit and reload the form.

Set DataCombo3.DataSource = Nothing
Set DataCombo3.RowSource = Nothing

It sill show the list from the last ado connection. Even after setting the Datasource & Rowsource to nothing and rebinding with the below statement.


This is a Blank DataBase
'*****************************************
Dim sql As String
sql = "Select * from Brand order by brand"

Adodc3.CommandType = adCmdText
Adodc3.RecordSource = sql
Adodc3.Refresh

Set DataCombo3.DataSource = Adodc3
Set DataCombo3.RowSource = Adodc3.Recordset

DataCombo3.BoundColumn = "ID"
DataCombo3.ListField = "Brand"

DataCombo3.Text = DataCombo3.Text
DataCombo3.BoundText = DataCombo3.BoundText 'A trick to help

Issues like this is just one of the reasons that very few people use bound controls.. for more, see this FAQ article.

I would recommend using code to connect to the database instead.. it is about the same amount of work for the simple things, and much less for the more complex things. It also avoids issues like this, as well as installation issues.. and more importantly, there are many more people here who can help you with it.

If you want to give it a try, see the ADO Tutorial link in my signature, and the ADO section of our Database FAQs for further things that can be done.
