Hello ,
Can anyone help me in understanding how do we use Vlookup ( as we use in Excel) in MS access.
Thanks much in advance

VLookup, as you said, is an Excel function, not an Access function! Perhaps if you explained what it is you're trying to do we could help you.

Ok i'll explain with an illustration. I ve 2 tables . 1st one is Suplier Details which has 2 fields viz Supllier name and Supplier address.
The 2nd table deals with the purchases and has the following fields; Order No, Description of goods, Supplier and Supplier Address .
Now what i want is every time i mention a supplier in the 2nd table , it should lookup for the address in the 1st table against the supplier . This would preculde the trouble of typing the address everytime a particular supplier is selected .
I hope this explain what i am looking out for.

Shreyans.

Try:
DLookup("[Supplier Address]","Supplier Table", "[Supplier] = '" & Me!Supplier & "'")
Replace the object names with the actual names from your application. Also, the above assumes you are doing the lookup by supplier name (text). If you have a supplier number, you should use that, but keep in mind that syntax changes for a numeric field as shown below:
DLookup("[Supplier Address]","Supplier Table", "[SupplierID] = " & Me!SupplierID)
Try:
DLookup("[Supplier Address]","Supplier Table", "[Supplier] = '" & Me!Supplier & "'")

Hi ,
Thanks for the help. HOwever i had to make a few changes in the code suggested by you, since it gave an error.
I then used - =DLookUp("[Last Name]","Persons","[First Name] = Form![First Name]")
. It works well now.
Thanks a lot anyways.

Hi all,
My application uses a lot of lookup tables.
I've splitted the frontend (forms, reports, etc) from the backend (data).
The database has around 10 different users.
The values in the lookup tables are not likely to change.
Question 1: Should I include them in the backend (with rest of data) or the
frontend?

I was reading on the mvps.org site not to use the lookup wizard in the
table design, but rather use a query. I'm confused by this, given that
the lookup wizard basically creates a query and uses it as the data
source - you can see it in the "Lookup" tab in the table design window.
So, what gives? :)

Suppose I have a table called tblPeople and I want a field to illustrate
whether each person prefers cats or dogs. I could do it one of three ways.
1. A plain text field
Create a text field in tblPeople called PreferredPet.
2. A lookup field that stores text values.
Create a text field in tblPeople called PreferredPetID and use it to lookup
an identical text field in tblPreferredPets.

Hi all,
I'm not a C# programmer so please be gentle:
Prereq:

- The lookup service (see below) implemented by a C module cannot be

- The lookup service is to be loaded into the process of the C#

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:
