How to get one field to update based on a selection from a drop do
New to Access. I want to create a form that coworkers can use to lookup
information in a database for inputting data into a PO as well as submit new records into the database. I want to have a control that is a combo drop down box where the can select a row from a list of items in a specified field and based on that selection it will update the below text box control with the corresponding data in the field next to it on the database. Make sense? Basically need to figure out how to update one control based on data selected from the drop down box control above it??? |

How to get one field to update based on a selection from a drop do
Private Sub YourComboBox_AfterUpdate()
Me.TextBoxName = Me.YourComboBox.Column(X) End Sub where the X is an integer designating the column of the combobox you want to populate the Textbox. This is Zero-based, so reading the combobox Left-to- Right, if you have, say, fields PO_Num, Company, ContactName and you wanted the textbox to be populated with the PO_Num, you'd use Me.TextBoxName = Me.YourComboBox.Column(0) For the Company name Me.TextBoxName = Me.YourComboBox.Column(1) And likewise, for the ContactName Me.TextBoxName = Me.YourComboBox.Column(2) -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!

How to get one field to update based on a selection from a drop do
The standard search form is to use a combo. Allow the combo wizard to do that
for you and select the field you want to search on. Then right click on the combo to get properties, go to events, and then select the afterupdate event. Type: Me.filter = "[yourfieldyouaresearchingon] = """ % Me.combo# & """" me.filteron = true The combo# will be listed, like combo22 or combo10. -- Milton Purdy ACCESS State of Arkansas "RMorton" wrote: New to Access.
