How to access an item in a table?

I have a form with a text box that has its control source set to a
field in a table. Let's say the table looks like:

Field1:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0
Field2:a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j

How can I set the caption of a button to be the current value that is
referenced in the text box?

How can I set the caption of a button to be table Field 4?

Thanks!
Tim

Hi Tim,

You could add some code to the After Update event of your text box:

Me.myCommandButton.Caption = Me.myTextBox.Value

If I understand your question correctly, you wish to set the caption
to whatever text value is associated with the number value in Field1
(4).

Me![ControlName].Caption = DLookup("[Field2]","TableName","[Field1] =
4")

If however, the field value (4) is entered into a control on the form,
then:

Me![ControlName].Caption = DLookup("[Field2]","TableName","[Field1] =
" & Me![ControlName])
