I have a table "Customer" with two fields "CusID" (autonumber, PK) and
"CusName" (text).
If I know the customer's ID, say 215, how can I find the name using DLookup?
PS:
I'm not really looking for an answer, I merely wish to be the one millionth
person to ask this question in the Access newsgroups before even glancing in
the help file.
Thanks in advance 4 3751
OK so I'll be the millionth sucker who replies!
If you have a field on your form called CustomerID that is an integer
then use
Result = DLookUp("CusName","Customer","CusID = " & Me.CustomerID)
If the field contains a string use
Result = DLookUp("CusName","Customer","CusID = '" & Me.CustomerID &
"'")

Thank you, Geoff.
Perhaps you can also tell me:
How do I reset my autonumber to 1?
How can I have more than 255 fields in my table?
Can I turn my mdb into an exe?
Why are people so generous with their time when others ask such stupid or
lazy questions?

Hi,
1) For reset the autonumber to 1 you can create same table in other
name then copy the data to the new table then delete the existing table
and change the name of the new table to the last. there's another
option but it's too complicated
2) Why do you need more then 255 fields in table??
3) You can turn you'r mdb to mde it's similar to exe, Choose Tools -->
Database Utilities --> Make MDE File
4) We all have sometime a stupid question:)))
Regards, Haim Rubin.
