I have a database where i am wanting a form to lookup data from one table.
i currently have a combo box used for searching and i am wanting to have a text box display the information relating to the search
how am i able to do this? can someone please help me?
what field are you returning?
in the after update event of your combo box
me.mytextbox = dlookup("field","yourtable","[yourfield]=" & me.yourcombo)
what field are you returning?
in the after update event of your combo box
me.mytextbox = dlookup("field","yourtable","[yourfield]=" & me.yourcombo)
Thanks for the help. i am using a destination field as the search criteria, when the destination is selected the kilometres from the corresponding fiedld are displayed in the textbox.
i tryed the argument you gave me but it now it tells me that there is no macro named "me".
i am so clueless about what i need to do

you have a form.
your form has a combo box
you put the lookup code I gave you in the combo box's after update event
you put the correct names in?
can you paste in the code you tried?

here is the code i tryed:
me.Kms = dlookup ("kilometres","New Plymouth","[kilometres] = " & me.Dest)
The name of the combo box is Dest
The name of the text box is Kms
The name of the table is New Plymouth
The name of the fields in the table are destination and kilometres
here is the code i tryed:
me.Kms = dlookup ("kilometres","New Plymouth","[kilometres] = " & me.Dest)
The name of the combo box is Dest
The name of the text box is Kms
The name of the table is New Plymouth
The name of the fields in the table are destination and kilometres
me.Kms = dlookup ("kilometres","[New Plymouth]","[kilometres] = " & me.Dest)
so you're returning kilomers by comparing kilometers to Dest?
shouldn't it be [destination] = me.dest??
and is it still giving you an error ? if so, what is it?

This is what comes up when i try the form:
Microsoft Access can't find the macro 'me'
the macro (or its macro group) doesn't exist, or the macro is new but hasn't been saved. note that when you enter the macrogroupname.macroname syntax in an argument, you must specify the name the macro's macro group was last saved under.
What does that mean??????

Thanks for all the help i have now sorted it and it works fine

can you post the final solution for everyone?
can you post the final solution for everyone?
sure,
in the row source of the combo box i have the following statement:
SELECT [Table].field, [Table].field FROM [table] ORDER BY field;
and in the after update of the combo box i have the following:
Private Sub [combo box]_AfterUpdate()
Me! textbox = Me! combo box.column (1)
End Sub
This allowed me to make a selection from the combo box and it displayed the corresponding data in the text box
This seems so close to what I am trying to do, but I can't get it to work. I tried to follow the example at the end. I have a table called Regions which has two fields--County and Region. In my LP form I have a combo box called county and a text field called region. The county combo box is selecting a county from a query called "Pick List - County". I want the region field to be automatically populated with the corresponding region number as listed in the County table.
I have this:
SELECT [Pick List - County].county, [Pick List - County].county FROM [Pick List - County] ORDER BY county;
in my row source and it lets me pick the county. I have this:
Private Sub County_AfterUpdate()
Me! region = Me! county.column (1)
End Sub
in the after update. It says Compile Error: Syntax Error.
It seems to me like I should have to reference the Regions table somehow. I played with everything I could find about dlookup, but couldn't get that to work, either. Can anyone help?
I kept trying and finally got this to work. I put this:
SELECT [Regions].county, [Regions].county FROM [Regions] ORDER BY county;
in the row source and this:
Me![Region] = DLookup("[region]", "Regions", "[county] = '" & Me!County & "'")
as the code for after update.
