VBA Dlookup - Using Dlookup in my Private Sub Item___AfterUpd ate()

[rklass]

I'm trying to do a dlookup and I keep getting an error.
I have a table (Supplier_List) with the "Supplier_I D" and the "Supplier_Name" .
I have another table that I'm using on my form (“Item Table” to get populate it. It has the "Supplier_I D" but not the "Supplier_Name" . I'm trying to populate the form with the "Supplier_Name" . The control "Supplier_N ame" is called "Supplier"
I'm using the following code but nothing is coming up. Help :{

Private Sub Item___AfterUpdate()
Me.Supplier = DLookup("Supplier", "Supplier List", "[Supplier_ID]='" & Me.Supplier_Id & "'")
End Sub

You've stumbled upon one of my pet peeves by building the criteria string within the command - and it's not your fault because that's how a majority of examples show how to use the command.
Instead I suggest that you build the string first and then use the string in the command.

Why you might ask, because you can then check how the string is actually resolving; thus, making troubleshooting the code so much easier as most of the time the issue is with something missing or not resolving properly/as expected within your string.

So to use your code:

Private Sub Item___AfterUpdate()
 
DIM strSQL as string
strSQL = "[Supplier_ID]='" & Me.Supplier_Id & "'"
'
'now you can insert a debug print here for troubleshooting
' - press <ctrl><g> to open the immediate window
' - you can now cut and paste this information for review!
'
debug.print "Your criteria = " & strSQL
'
'now use the string in your code:
Me.Supplier = DLookup("Supplier", "Supplier List", strSQL)

If you will make these little changes and post back the resolved string we can help you tweak the code.

The second thing to look at... Me.Supplier_Id - are you sure that this is a text field?
