How to extract a record from other Table to display on main Form

1 New Member
I have a main Form Order Entry. In the customer field, I create a comboBox to query Customer Table records so I can select the name.

How do I reference back the customer name selected, extract the customer info from Customer Table and assign or display all the relevant fields on my main Form? Like contact, currency, delivery address and etc.

So these info will be save in the Order Table.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,

chwong

You need to create a query that pulls those fields from the tables involved, and set that query as the form's recordsource. Once you do that, you will be able to bind the form controls to fields in the tables.

Forgot to add that the afterUpdate event of the combobox can be used to determine which record to display on the form. If you need more help, please post the sql that you have for the form's recordsource query and for the combobox's row source.

Access 2000 I need some help interogatting a table and extracting via ASP the final field in a row which has a value. In other words, I have a maximum of 10 fields but, at the user level he may he only enter values into the first four. I need to ALWAYS extract the final or last field that has a value. In the example below this would be PriceField5 which has a value of $162,000. The user stopped at this field and left the rest blank.

I have a form, primary subform and secondary subform. A tab control takes up all the area of the primary subform. There are about 15 tabs on the tabcontrol. Each tab contains fields from the same table. Related fields appear on each tab. There is one field in the table that needs to be displayed at all times so I created the secondary subform (subform to main form) to display just that one field. Data entry is main form - secondary subform...

Hi everybody- I inherited a database that somehow uses a bound combo box as a record selector. Let me give you some background. The form is based on data from 2 tables. The first table, Person, records info about a person. The second table, Case, records information about a person's case, almost like a human resources database. The primary key of the table, person, is his/ her social security number. The primary key of the other...

In my form I have a master table and a details table linked 1xM. I can search through the whole parent table but I also like to be able to search through the child table fields to find parent records. Should I design a new form for this or can I somehow make this work in the same form. Thanks in advance, john
