I have a combo box in ms access 2010. Combo box has 3 values. for example: admin, user, super_user; and are stored in table type.

In another table/view I input users. and one field is combo box where I can select 1 or more user types.

My Requirement: I want to create macro->

IF [USERS].[TYPE] = admin, then do something ON INSERT.

-but I can't access that element. I tried with:

([USERS].[TYPE].[Value])1 = "admin"
([USERS].[TYPE].[Value])1 = 1
[USERS].[TYPE].Value(1) = "admin"
[USERS].[TYPE].[Value]1
[USERS].[TYPE].Column(1) = 1
.........................
.............

and much more variation(different combinations), but I can't see what value is selected.

Using query wizard I built query like this:

SELECT korisnici.vrsta.Value
FROM korisnici
WHERE (((korisnici.vrsta.Value)=1));

and result is 'administrator'

does somebody knows how to access that value of combo box?

It should look like this : Forms!MyFormName!MyColumnName.Column(1)

Don't forgot the first column is 0 and not 1

here is the solution: Data macros cannot process multi-valued or attachment data-types.
