Updating a text field from a combo box of another field

1 New Member
Private Sub FundDescription_AfterUpdate()

' Evaluate filter before it is passed to DLookup function.
strFilter = "FundDescription = " & Me!FundDescription

' Look up product's unit price and assign it to the UnitPrice control.
Me!FundCode = DLookup("FundCode", "tbl_Fund", strFilter)

End Sub

error is: data type mismatch in criteria expresion

Hi

I think this
strFilter = "FundDescription = " & Me!FundDescription
should be this
strFilter = "FundDescription = '" & Me!FundDescription & "'"

You need to enclose the text/string field/varable inside apostrophies so the compiler knows where the valiable starts and end within the total string expression!!?
