I am building another data base for invoices. I have two tables on is for the invoices, one is for the parts.
The invoice table contains several fields. for the customer info and for the orders to be stored in.
The Part table consists of fields
part #
Serial #
description
Price
The form that I created for the invoice, i want to have conditional formatiing for the part info for example:
When part # 001 is selected from the drop down box that is connected to the part table then it automatically fills in the serial description and price into the appropriate fields on the form. I then want the price field multiplied multiplied by the quanity field to bring a total. into the total field. Then a sub total at the bottom.
If anyone can help me with how to do this it would be greatly appreciate. Oh yeah I am running with MS ACCESS 2000. If any further info is needed let me know.
Thanks a lot

You could just set the control source of the textboxes to DLookup the appropriate fields.

But would it automatically look up the info. They are different fields?

It would automatically lookup whenever your combobox changes because the control source would be tied to the value of the combobox.

I'm sorry but I dont think that I am understanding. The first field on the form is a combo box which is the part #, the next field would be a text box which is serial number, the next is a text/ description and the next is text box/ price.
Do I do the dlookup on the combo box or the text box... and what exactly do I put in for the appropriate field.
Again Sorry I am fairly new to this.

You'd put it in the control source property of the textbox. You'll want to look up the DLookup function in the help files as that'll provide you an explanation of all the intricacies and examples.

But the control source needs to point to where I want the data stored. I am more looking for an After Update type thing. Just dont know what to put.

in the after update event of your combo box
me.mytextfield = me.mycombo.colu mn(x)
where x is the appropriate field you're trying to populate.

Set the Row Source of the combo box to ... -
SELECT [part #], [Serial #], description, Price FROM Part
You can hide the extra columns by setting their column width to 0.
Then in the After Update event of the combo box put the following: - Private Sub ComboboxName_AfterUpdate()
-
Me![Serial #] = Me!ComboboxName.Column(1)
-
Me!description = Me!ComboboxName.Column(2)
-
Me!Price = Me!ComboboxName.Column(3)
-
End Sub

Dear NG,
I would like to format a record in a subform, dependent on a value in one

If one field in the record I show in a subform (datasheet view) is true I

normal. Is that possible ?
