fill in form fields using combo box

1 New Member
I have a combo box to select a client name and then it fills in the rest of their information (address, city, state, phone, etc.) Each field is bound to the table where the information is stored. How can I allow the user to overwrite the information that is automatically filled in? Also I don't want the information to be stored. I just want it to be temporary for that specific form. When I try to type in the fields, it tells me it cannot be edited because it is bound. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Unbind the fields. Delete anything in their control source.

Hello, I need some advice on which way to resolve the following. On a form, the user will make a selection from a combo box, after the selection several different fields need to be updated on the form, based on the selection in the combo box. I have been doing this quite successfully by having the combo box rowsource query contain all the fields and simply use the correct column to fill in the text boxes. e.g. me.txtState =...

I have a question about technique with regard to filling drop downs. I have a Winform that has several different tabs and tables associated with it. In an effort to keep the load time small I would like to not fill the fields with lookups at form load time. I have a grid on a tab of this form that has six fields in it that have lookups associated with them. By lookups I mean that the dropDown in the field is populated by doing a query...

Not exactly sure how to explain this. I have 4 fields (in access 2000). Category, Catid, Subcat, subcatid. There are 40 categories, and about 1500 subcats. I've added the categories to the lookup, so when I enter them in the field, I can usually just type the first letter or two. (they are in a dropdown box). I would like to have the CatID show up automatically in it's field, after I

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
