Search in listbox

Hello,

I have a listbox with dates. The date format is DD-MM-YYYY.  Normally if I select a month, I enter in the search box of the listbox the MM-YYYY. Then I can select the month. The problem I have is that this normally works, but I have one file, that it isn't possible to do this. Can someone help me with this, please?

With kind regards,

Aissam

Hi Aissam,

well, since you haven't attached or included any specific information, I can only make an assumption:

=> Maybe that table isn't properly linked.

Is there a date_field in that table? Try with that one (make sure it doesn't have the key_icon - fields with the key_icon behave a bit differently and can't be used for that kind of testing).

HTH

Best regards,

Compare "default search mode" in the file that works and the file that doesn't work.  It is in the list box properties, tab General

MakeDate

(Mid(LABOR_TIME_COMPLT_LEFT,1,4),Mid(LABOR_TIME_COMPLT_LEFT,5,2),Mid(LABOR_TIME_COMPLT_LEFT,7,2)) as DayDateFinished,
