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! |

Populate form from text box entry
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!
