Auto Fill From Selection Of Combo Box

Sep 13, 2006

I set up an Access database to track visiting families. Each person in a family is inserted as a seperate row in my table. The table has the following columns: Visitor # (which is an auto #), Head of household, last name, first name, phone, email, address and etc.

The first person I enter when a family visits is the head of the household. I set up a quiery with a pull down combo box in my form so when I enter a new entry I can select a head of the houshold to assign each person to. Since I put the head of the household in first. I can then select that head of the household (this way I can track each family member seperate but still know they belong to the same family). So if we have a family visit that has a husband, wife and a child. There are three entries each having a head of the household as the same. When I use the query to select the head of the household in the combo box I would like the information that is the same as the original "head of the household" entry (address and phone #) to be automacially filled in from the husband's initial entry.

How can I do this? I read some other post with some VB in them like "Me.TextBox = ComboBox1.Column(3)" but I don't understand the syntax too well since I'm new at this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Forms :: Auto Fill Based On Selection

Jul 25, 2014

So, I have a form and I need it so that when one field is selescted, the other 2 auto fill based on my selection. The form is based off of a Table, "TblClient" and The fields are ClientID (PK), InventoryType, Policy, and DueDate.

I want the user to type in the ClientID, and then once they select InventoryType, Policy and DueDate are autofilled.
I have another table, "TblData" that has the data for InventoryType and the coresponding Policy and DueDate associated with each one. So far, I have a combobox for InvnentoryType with a query for rowsource for InventoryType with the width of these additional columns to zero so they are not displayed in the combo. Then, I added unbound text boxes to my form (one for each additional field) and in the Control Source of those text boxes I put:

In the first unbound text box;

=[InventoyType].Column(2)

This worked for me, but now I realize that I want to give it the option that once these are autopopulated, they can be edited. For example, the policy most of the time is exactly the same for a certain inventory type, but sometimes, a word or two needs to be changed. Is this possible?

How To Make A Auto Fill Fielded Based On User Selection

Feb 13, 2006

Hi,
I've been working on a database to keep track of employee time off, It consists of the main table, a employee table, and a department table.

I had a form that our admin uses to enter the info for each employee.

They would select the name of the employee from a drop down, and then select the department that employee is in from another drop down. then they would select the days off and reason ect. Then when finished they would hit submit and this would be entered into the main table.

Well they just asked if it would be possible to make it so when they enter the employee's name, that the department would automatically be filled in for the employee.

Is this possible? I'm trying to think of how to do it, but not coming up with anything.

Thanks
Chris.

Table Of Orders - Auto Fill A Column Based On Selection In Another

Jan 23, 2013

In my database I have a table of customers and a table of orders (where many customers have more than one order, so the primary keys for each table are customerID and orderID).

In the orders table, the first columns are:

OrderID CustomerID Customer Forename Customer Surname

I need my table to auto fill in the customer forename and surname based on the selection of customerID (the names are saved in the customers table).

I already have a lot of data filled in, so am looking ideally for a way to fill these name columns without having to re-input all the data.

Using Combo Box Selection To Fill Other Fields

Mar 12, 2005

I am new to Acces programming and have been tasked with making a database for work. I is a very simple database. What I need it to do though that I can't figure out is. Once the table is populated with information I want the user to be able to select a record from my combo box and then all the rest of the information from the record will automatically display in the correct text field so any changes can be made to it. So I have say Combo Box John Smith and when he is selected I want text field DOB to automatically fill with 01/01/1960 as that is what was put in there when he was first entered.

Thanks.

Modules & VBA :: DLookup Fill Textbox After Combo Selection

Apr 29, 2014

I'm a novice when it comes to Access 2010, and I'm having trouble with DLookup syntax, and am going nuts. I have tblLookup, tblFees and Costs, and frmFees and Costs. All data entry is done in frmFees and Costs.

The tblLookup lists plaintiffs and the matter related to them. In the form, I made a combo box [Combo13] for plaintiffs and a text box for Matter [Matter], but whenever I enter the plaintiff, I get an error.

The error is:
Run-time error '3075':
Syntax error (comma) in query expression '[PlaintiffName]=The Plaintiff I Typed in'

The code I'm trying to use:

Private Sub Combo13_AfterUpdate()
Me.Matter = DLookup ("[Matter]", "tblLookup", "[PlaintiffName] =" & Me.Combo13)
End Sub

[PlaintiffName] is the column name in the tblLookup.

I looked around the forums but couldn't find anything that matched my setup.

Tables :: Using Combo Box To Auto-fill A Column On Table?

Feb 7, 2014

My problem is I have two tables. One of the tables was made specifically to draw information from to populate the second table. The second table has a combo box that draws information from one of the fields from the first table. What I am hoping to do though is have each selection from the combo box in the second table to draw different information from another field in the first table and use that data to populate another field in the second table.

Simplified: Combo box in Field (1) on table two has multiple selections that I want to autofill the data in Field (2) on table two based upon the selection of the combo box. Data from both fields in table two would come from two different fields from table one.

I have tried to work with the After Update button in the After Events section on the ribbon at the top; however, I am simply lousy with coding. Is there an easier way to do it other than using that option?

I have a combo box that autofills a text box, this has duplicate values and I want to fill the text box based on the selection of the combo box.

Let me explain:The combobox is Suburb, the text box is for Postcode, the data has multiple matches for example FRANKLIN has a postcode match of 2913 in ACT and also 7113 in TAS.

From the combo box I select the record that matches 7113 but 2913 enters into the text box.

This is my code: In Row source of the combo box I have - SELECT [Australian Postcodes].Locality, [Australian Postcodes].Pcode, [Australian Postcodes].State FROM [Australian Postcodes];

In Event on change I have -

Private Sub Suburb_Change()
Me.Postcode = Me.Suburb.Column(1)
End Sub

how to change this to be based on the selected record from the combo box?

Text Boxes Auto Fill After Combo Box Update?

Jul 13, 2015

GOAL: select the IC number from the combo box and have 5 text boxes auto fill.

I have a table made for the IC number drop down. The columns represent the fields that need to be auto filled.

Making some kind of query to link the combo box entry to the text boxes? Some VBA where the control source is equal to my query? I have tried changing the text box control source to equal columns from my drop down but that did not work.

NOTE: the blue font in the first image represents the text boxes that need to auto fill when I select the IC number from the drop down. The second image is my table from which my combo box is generated. The acronyms are for the two tests on this form.

Creating Auto Fill After Selecting From Combo Box Options

Jul 10, 2013

I just learned about Access 2007 since two days ago. I was assigned to do a database on the competency test records for my company.

I currently have 2 tables: tblCompetencyRecord and tblSections.

In tblSections, I have sectionname and sectionhead. PK is the sectionname.

I created a form from tblCompetencyRecord.

I have employee name, employee number, position, section, section head, test period, status and remarks on my form (like wise in my tblCR).

Now, I want to get Section field (combo box) to auto fill the Section Head field. I've searched high n low (i think), but i just couldn't figure it out.

Auto Populate Fields Based On Combo Box Selection

Jan 23, 2013

I have three tables with the following columns:

MoldReq
Mold_NoPart_NamePart_NoMaterialDateWork_Ord(Pri Key)
MoldLog
Log_IDMold_No(Pri Key)Part_NameLog_DateTime_InTime_OutHours
Molds
Mold_No(Pri Key)Part_NamePart_No

I am trying to build a form in the MoldReq section so when the user selects the mold number(combo box) it will auto populate the Part_Name and Part_No fields by pulling the data from the Molds table.

I have tried following this video where I create a change event:

Code:
Private Sub cboCombo31_Change()
Me.txtPart_Name.Value = Me.cboMold_No.Column(3)
Me.txtPart_No.Value = Me.cboMold_No.Column(4)
End Sub

Forms :: Auto Populate A Text Box Based On Selection Of A Combo Box

May 24, 2013

I have two tables: tblWeightTickets and tblWasteType.

I want to create a form: frmWeightTickets, where a user can enter information and the data is stored in tblWeightTickets.

There are two fields in particular that I am working on ... "WasteType" and "Rate".

On the form, I want "WasteType" to be a combobox "cboWasteType" and when I select a type of waste I want the "Rate" textbox on the same form to auto populate with the rate amount for that particular type of waste (i.e. recycling, garbage, etc).

The Rate amount is located in the table: tblWasteType under the field name "Rate". How can I do this and at the same time store the information in the tblWeightTickets? I already have the combo box loaded with the types of waste - I just need it to populate the rate text box and store it in the Weight Tickets table.

Forms :: Auto Populate Date In Field Based On Selection In Combo Box

Mar 11, 2015

I'm creating a form that when the user selects the following categories in the same combo box (Date Received, Date Reviewed, Date kitted, In Work, Complete) it auto populates dates in the respective fields. As I mentioned, it's only one combo box. The dates will be spread out, so the user will change the combo box selection based on when these events occur. I already have a field for each category both on the table and form. Also, I do have multiple tables for other parts of data, but these categories all fall into the same table.

Auto Fill

Jun 8, 2005

I've tried googling this, but I can't find anything helpful. I have five columns in my 'Main' table. In each row, column B, C & D are solely dependant on column A. And column E is completely independant of all of them. I want to be able to select a choice in column A using a drop-down menu (which I know how to do) and have columns B, C, & D automatically fill themselves in (which I don't know how to do). Column E I would just manually enter.

How do I get columns B, C, & D to automatically fill themselves in my 'Main' table. I would select a value from a drop-down menu in column A and want everything else to fill in. The values for A,B,C,& D are all in seperate tables with an ID and linked to their respective fields in the 'Main' table. Appreciate any help.
