VBA DLookup with multiple criteria not functioning

[Brendan Wolf]

Happy Halloween all,

I have been struggling at work with a DLookup using multiple criteria. I would like a text box to display the results of a DLookup based on the values selected in three comboboxes and the table that runs them all. Here is my code:

 
 
Private Sub Subverbs_GotFocus()
'When the Subverbs gets focus it looks up proper subverbs from Authority_Lookup table
Me.Subverbs = DLookup("[Subverbs]", "AUTHORITY_LOOKUP", "[Sub_Line]= '" & "Me.Employee_LOB.Value &" And "AUTHORITY_LOOKUP", "[Band_name]= '" & "& Me.Change_Title.Value &" And "AUTHORITY_LOOKUP", "[InsideOutside]= '" & "& Me.Clm_Rep_Type.Value &" "'")
End Sub 
 
 

It works perfect with just the one criteria, but not with two or three more comboboxes as criteria.

The table is AUTHORITY_LOOKUP and the fields are sub_line, band_name, InsideOutside, and I wand me.subverbs to display the Subverbs field result based on the value in the comboboxes.

I would love any help! This is my first post and this looks like a great community.

Thank you so much!

Try:

Me.Subverbs = DLookup("[Subverbs]", "AUTHORITY_LOOKUP", "[Sub_Line] = '" & [Employee_LOB] & _
            "' AND [Band_name] = '" & [Change_Title] & _
            "' AND [InsideOutside] = '" & [Clm_Rep_Type] & "'")

Of course, you will need to filter for valid inputs since you could easily have an invalid combination selected with multiple combo boxes feeding into one DLookup.

Awesome Awesome! Thank you gnawoncents! It worked like a charm. I will of course have restrictions in place so there is not null combination.

Have a great weekend!

I'm glad it worked for you. You were close, just needed some minor adjustments.
