Combo box selection as text in string - ms-access

Question

I have a Form in Access which uses a selection from a combo box list to drive the creation of a report.
The combo box selection is evaluated as an ID. I need to get it as a text. I've found other similar issues but cannot get it to work. Can anyone walk me through it?
The closest thread I found was http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/...ad.php?t=58062, but not sure what "joining to the lookup table" entails.
In the code below, txtExpr1001, txtIndustry, and txtSkill are the combo boxes.
The code:
Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click()
Dim sWhereClause As String
sWhereClause = "Expr1001 = '" & txtExpr1001.Value & "' AND MonthsCon >= " & txtMonth1.Value & " AND IndustryName = '" & txtIndustryName.Value & "' AND MonthsNonCon >= " & txtMonth2.Value & " AND Skill = '" & txtSkill.Value & "' AND MonthsSkills >= " & txtMonth3.Value & ""
Call DoCmd.OpenReport("IndustryCon + IndustryNonCon + Skills", acViewPreview, , sWhereClause)
End Sub
My code does not trigger an error. The report opens but it's blank.

If you want to get the value of a combo box (which I'm not sure which of your .values are the combo box if any are) then you can just write something like this:
Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click()
Dim sWhereClause As String
'Me.Combo_BoxName.Column(0) is going to be how you call the combo box
'I put it right at the front of the string and chose ID as a random name as well
sWhereClause = "ID = '" Me.Combo_BoxName.Column(0) & "' AND Expr1001 = '" & txtExpr1001.Value & "' AND MonthsCon >= " & txtMonth1.Value & " AND IndustryName = '" & txtIndustryName.Value & "' AND MonthsNonCon >= " & txtMonth2.Value & " AND Skill = '" & txtSkill.Value & "' AND MonthsSkills >= " & txtMonth3.Value & ""
Call DoCmd.OpenReport("IndustryCon + IndustryNonCon + Skills", acViewPreview, , sWhereClause)
End Sub
