Pull data from another table

Hi,

I have a command button, when I press it I would like it to find the record
I have specified in a text box on the current form and to pull fields such
as Address 1 and Address 2 from another table into text boxes on the current
form.

The fields that are pulled into the current form need to be stored in the
table for the current form, so I do not beleive I could use DLookUp because
they will not be stored? only displayed.

Many Thanks...

Kind Regards...

Normal relational design says you shouldn't have to store them. But
biz rules trump DB design rules in lots of cases...

One way to do it would be to open a recordset with the single recordID
parameter (basically a parameterized query or something like it) and
then you'd get one record with lots of fields. Then you could just set
all the fields you wanted...

can't remember the exact syntax, but you'd do something like

'all DAO
dim rs as recordset
dim qd as querydef
set qd=dbengine(0)( 0).querydefs("M yQuery")
set qd.parameters(0 )=Me.Fields("My IDField")
set rs=qd.openrecor dset

then you could access the fields in the recordset or whatever...
me.fields(0) = rs.fields(0)
or
me.controls("co ntrolname").val ue=rs.Fields("F ieldName")
....
so ya write it as a function and call it in a macro or whatever. or
skip that and just call it in a button.'s click event.

Hello, I have a pretty large table (22,000 rows, 40 columns) that I need to return to either a webpage (maybe a datagrid or just a table) or just spit out directly to Excel. This table is coming from an Oracle database. The code we are using now uses the Enterprise Library and using the ExecuteDataSet method. I tried the ExecuteReader, but that didn't seem any faster. When I use the ExecuteReader my assumption is that I still need to...

Hi Everyone : ) I hope that this question is actually something easy in disguise. Re: Access 2003 I have a report that displays information about which of our employees worked at a given job over a period of 2 weeks, and displays how much we paid them for their work at that job (using DSUM to calc all those records within that 2 week period). This works just fine. The problem is that sometimes our guys work at these little side jobs. For...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
