Autocomplete Employee info
I am new and hoping to set up simple employee database to track evaluation
scores. I would like the employee info to auto complete once the employee is identified, For instance using names then completeing position, date of hire, etc. However the employee auto ID primary key people will not know or remember. how can they look up the info they need and not have to re-enter when they put in scores. I do not need the forms to be in access, I would have it as more of a database similar to excel table style. If it the way the sytem works, that's ok, just not a must for me. Thanks in advance, Clinton |

If you use a combo box on a form it is fairly simple. Set the autoexpand
property to yes. -- Milton Purdy ACCESS State of Arkansas "Whois Clinton" wrote: I am new and hoping to set up simple employee database to track evaluation scores.
