Populate form from text box entry

I have a form which has a query made up of a few other queries (this may be
an incorrect thing to d
I've been going nuts trying to figure this out, so any help is
appreciated!!o) as the Record Source.

It has a three textboxes on the form in which I need each one to perform a
specific query associated with that textbox. In other words, the user types
in a number, presses 'Enter' or 'Tab' key, then the query (maybe needs
another mechanism) associated with that entered number will execute, and it
will display the relevant results in the form. This is the reason I used a
query containing the need queries as the form Record Source, so I could bind
each textbox where the results from the executed query will populate.

I have done this with a CustomerName combo box at the top of the form, but
not with a textbox. I can not link this CustomerName to the rest of the
form, because there will be many products (first textbox) etc associated with
this specific customer. And my employer does not want drop downs for these
other values that the user will manually enter. I have tried using the
AfterUpdate, OnExit, OnLostFocus event properties with no luck. I'm sure one
of these is the answer, but I am not getting it. Also, I am not a great VBA
programmer. I have been going nuts trying to figure this out, so any help is
apprecitated!

Thank you for your suggestion. I went to Allen Browne's website looked at
every one of his microsoft Access Tips. I was unable to find anything that
would help me with this issue. Could you please give me a little more
guidance as to exactly which tip you were thinking of?

I am using Access 2003.

Thanks!
