Hi,

I have two forms and two tables.

Form1 is regarding the details of employee. When any new employee comes I do entry the details in Form1.

Form 2 is regarding the working hours of existing employee.In form 2 I had put combobox for employee name. It shows existing employee name in combobox drop down list.

I need that when I type any new employee name in combobox then it should search in database i.e table 1 which the table of Form 1 in which all details of employee is stored. If not found the name then my form 1 should open.

Solution 1

You can not type any thing in ComboBox. For that you need something like this[^]

There are many alternatives to achieve your requirement. One of them is just add a link to Form1 besides the ComboBox to have a better navigation.

Solution 3

You need to call db KeyPressevent of combo and do the wildcard search for names in db
