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.

I have a form that is a datasheet. it contains multiple records. One of the fields in that datasheet is a combo box. I would like to make it so when I select a value from the combo box it changes all the values of the other records in that column/field to what was chosen from that combo box. is that possible?

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

I'm pretty new to this type of programming and i was hoping for a little help,
I have completed the majority of my program it's just a few little things i need to tweak.
The main thing is that i am trying to get a text box to autofill from a selection in a combo box i.e.
i have selected a drop down box with 3 coloums looked up from another table i would like 1 of the columns to stay in the combo box after selection and the other two to appear in the text boxes on the same page.
Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks
Brad

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 created a form based off of one table. I have added an unbound combo box so a user can select a department's number and would like department name and accountable officer to auto pop/fill based on the dept number selection. I'm not sure what I need to put in the "After Update" in the properties in order for this to work.

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?

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.

I am trying to auto-fill address info from a combo field. I'm using a select query on a table for the information. It appears to work for the first field (Firm Address1), but then stops working on all the other fields.

I want to use information supplied to me by suppliers as spreadsheets to create a database that i can navigate through by selecting from drop down options.
Example;
Imagine a product being broken down by its features, such as a washing machine.
Here is a list of what i would need to sort on,
Manufacture
Model
Type
Size
Price
Colour...and so on
So, if a customer asked "what 8kg 1200rpm washing machines do you supply for under £300 and in black" i would like to able to find all that info by drilling down a few selections.

I have reinstalled Access 2010 due to a computer malfunction. I had customized my Dictionary with about 2000 abbreviations for medical specific words: gast for Gastroenterology for instance. Saves tons of typing. I have never been able to save my dictionary just in case something like this happens. And, It's happened before. I may have saved(unsure) once, but it was years ago on Access XP-2003, somewhere in that time frame and was never able to find it if I did. So I am reentering all these words again. It would sure be nice to be able to add them by Anything! but going File/Options/ Proofing/ Auto Correct Options and then entering my shortcuts. that's 4 steps each time. It would seem to me that if you can add the Auto-Correct icon in Word to the Word ribbon, Access should be able to do this. There is no icon i can find in Customize Ribbons/ All Commands. My Word Dictionary does not -never has- synced with Access' Dictionary.

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.

I am looking to find the experssion that will allow me to put a date in a query under date completed and have it fill another field for schedule.
I know that in Excel it would be =sum(A1 +90 ) and this will give a date 90 days after the date inputed into field A1 and so on down the column. and it would auto fill the next column for me

Hi,
I am trying to write a database that has one table for companies and another for the services they hire.
The objective is to end up with a managable excel sheet that imoprt into an accountancy package. (Using Acess to eliminate several sheets in current procedure and also free up 1.5 days PCM data entry time).
I have set an auto look up that will autofill the required fields into the form ( =MYQUERY.column(1) ). This works fine and does what i need it to. My problem is that it does not write back to the table so I can not run an outputto command.
I do not know of any other way to produce the autofill to try another way. I have looked at the setup and can not find any problems.
Does anyone have any ideas to help me out?

Alright, I've tried just about everything else, now I need to tap into the grapevine for some help. I've read every thread about auto pop info, DLookUP and auto fill. I'm so lost and confused. I'm an Access 97 beginner and can't seem to get my form to do the things I need. I'm working with an existing form and trying to get text fields to auto fill with an "After Update" command. I'm not familiar with VB coding and the function isn't working. If someone out there can help me, I'd really appreciate it.

I am a new access user and need some help. I have created an auto fill query to fill in information on a sales order table from my customer table based on CustomerID.
I have also created a sales order form. When I enter the customer ID in the form the rest of the data does not fill in. Actually nothing happens.
How do I link the form to the query so that the form knows where or how to look for the auto fill customer data.
Thanks

Here is what I have so far. Table 1 has employee info. Table 2 is for the courses that employees take. Table 3 is a listing of available training courses. What I have done is created a form with all the employee info and linked it to table 2 by ss #'s. What I am wondering is if I can create a field, lets say course #, in table 2 and table 3. That way when I input the course number into the subform, then the corresponding info from table 3 is inserted, ie course name and course hours. Any suggestions or help would be great.
