Dlookup alternative

7 New Member
I am looking for a simple dlookup alternative that would return ONE value to a textbox from a query that is compatible with SQL Server 2005.
Access will be the front end and the database will run in SQL 2005.

Hello, Papote.

You may write your own VBA alternative to DLookUp function using ADO recordset.

Hi

A quick fix is to add list box and there you have an option to add your SQL Code.

It displays more then 1 record but if you can one record you can limit the size.

Hope it is an alternative for you.

I have a lookup table from which I want to categorize various bands of customer net income. Some of the income is positive, some is negative. The bands vary in size (ie, <500, -200 to 0, 100 to 1000). When I have a lookup table w/ the "threshold" amounts of income, I'm not able to get dlookup to work, and I'm pretty sure it's getting tripped up by negative / positive lookup values. Is it not possible to do lookups on a table w/ both...

DLookup("", "tblPreliminaryVINs", "=Forms!frmVINODO!SerialNum") is giving me a Type Mismatch error. That's confusing to me and I don't know how to circumvent it. The field in tblPreliminaryVINs is a 17-char text field. Forms!frmVINODO!SerialNum is just an unbound textbox on a form (frmVINODO). I run the DLookup during the textbox's BeforeUpdate event code. Some VIN values I type in there do NOT give rise to the error. Some do. By

I'm using dlookup when I enter a part description it adds the part number for me. I choose the part description from a combo...

In my database I have a 'control table' in which basic info is stored about the application, for instance the application's path and the name of the company that is using it. In all of the application's reports I have a page footer with an unbound field that retrieves and shows the name of the company. This is done by Dlookup. My question is: is Dlookup the best way to do this, performance wise, or is there a more efficient way? Thanks in...
