How To Auto Fill Table A From Table B
Jun 8, 2006
AUTO FILL-in - Of course, this is banal and simple - if you know how to do it. If you don't it seems impossible. Bizarre that on the whole internet so far I can't find a clear, simple example!
Table A is a list of lessons; table B a list of courses. They have various fields in common, such as "courseref", "course title", "room number", "teacher" etc
I want to enter the "courseref" in a form created for table A and fill in the other common fields in the same table (A) from table B, which is acting here as a lookup or reference table.
So, is it a combo box? What code goes where? Do I make a select query? How to link it to the key field and the associated fields. SELECTDISTINCT seems to come in somewhere, but NO SOURCE I can find explains it clearly to me (and I am not yet senile ....). Can any of you?

Please help
I have 2 tables:-
1 Master Input Table.
1 Job Lookup table - (contains Job Number and Name)
When in-putting job details into the Master Input table i would like to enter the job number only and have the job name appear automatically without running a query, much the same as a 'vLookup' command in excel.
Is this possible?
Can anyone help?

Its been a long time since I did dB work - stopped back in the days of dBase IV.
Still, using Access 2007 is not that difficult - except right now. I have 2 tables; one with customer contacts, the other with project details. Heres what I want - hopefully someone can help:
Within the project table, select from a lookup into customer contacts a name, which then auto fills in the fields for phone and email in the project table. I want to do this in the table or form, but have the data deposited into the table for sure!
Any help really appreciated.

I am working on Access 2007.
I have two separate tables (called inventory and job log) and they have a few of the same field items (number, name, style 1, style 2, and area).
I would like the job log table to autofill the name, style 1, style 2, and area when you type in the number when logging a new job (pulling this information from the inventory table)..

Hi All,
Although familiar with CR, SQL and other such things. I have never had cause to use Access all that much.... Until Now!
My problem is easiest explained by my requirements....
I have a db table called Source. The data for this Table is populated by a form called Technical. Technical containes a series of fields (SO No, SO Line No, WO No etc etc). Some of these fields are lookup fields linked directly to the SO_Header Table in our main ERP software via and ODBC connection. The result is the SO No field is populated with a list of Sales Order No's as they exist within the ERP software. Within the Technical Form I have also the Customer Name.
This is where the problems begin. Within the ERP software we have two tables which I need to use: SO_Header and Customer. The SO_Header contains all the Sales Order info and the Customer table contains all the customer info. What I need to do is populate the customer name field in by db with the relevant customer based on the SO No chossen. However the Customer Name does not exist in the SO_Header table. Instead both the SO_Header table and the Customer tables contain a field called Cust_Code.
Now if I wanted to link these in Crystal Reports I would link from the SO_Header table to the Customer table using the Cust_code field. This would give me the corresponding Customer name based on the Sales Order No.
How can I get the correct Customer Name to appear automatically in my Access form based on a SO No chossen by the user?
I would realy appreciate any help on this! If you need me to clarify anything please ask.
Thanks in advance!

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 am having problems having my combo box auto fill the next text box. The table it pulls from is called Code-LeaseProvision and it has only 2 columns in it. So when built the combo box it pulls the both rows. One is labeled "Code" and other other "ProvisionDescription" I have it set when you use the combo box it fills Code but it will not fill the next text box labeled "ProvisionDescription". So when I put the event into the ProvisionDescription afterupdate as a VBA code. This is what I have:
Private Sub desc_AfterUpdate()
Me.[ProvisionDescription] = Me.[Code].Column(1)
End Sub
It fills the combo box but will not fill and update the LeaseProvision Text box.

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.

I have a master list of projects, with project reference number, project name, and nature of project.
I have also got a form for individuals to fill in details of project events, with date, time, name, and two or three other fields - also included are project reference and name. I'd like the name field to be auto filled when the user selects the project reference from a combo box; I think? (the list only shows open projects).
I'd did something similar some years ago in Access 2003 (I think) but cannot figure it out in the version I'm currently using 2010.

I understand right off the bat if you're reaction is "don't duplicate data!!" -- mine would be too (don't fret, I know my normalization).
I've linked a table in my db to my Global Address Book in Outlook 2007 and, upon entering an employee number as a new record, would like to verify that the number entered is listed in the GAL and then pull in the associated name and location info.
The key is that I don't want this info to rely on the GAL going forward. For example, if an employee leaves or is no longer listed in the GAL, I don't want to lose the employee info (past data is needed for audit purposes). Note: I will be creating a report later to show if there are discrepancies between the GAL and my table, but that's another story...
So, what would be the best auto-fill options in Access 2007?

I have a table called Client Info which stores the clients name and their requirements (Gas safe etc). And I have a table "Job List" where i select from a drop down menu the clients and it auto fills all the requirement check boxes based on what is stored in the Client Info table. However I can't get the code to work.
Private Sub Client_Click()
[job_list].[Gas_Safe].Value = [client_info].[Gas_Safe].Value
End Sub

I am building a database to track contract of employees so that I can know which contracts are valid and which are expired.
My table has the following fields:
ID (Primary key)
Employee ID (Foreign key to link to the employee table)
Start_Date
End_Date
Status (Either valid or expired)
Challenge
I want when I enter the end date, the system checks the end date against the current date and fills in the status field with either valid or expired as appropriate. For instance if the contract end date is March 10,2016, the status must be filled in the word valid.

I have a table being filled everyday that contains the following:
ID
EntryDate
Ward_ID (linked to the Wards table)
Census
At present, the data encoder manually chooses the ward via drop-down list to identify the ward, and fill the census field. Since we have 20 wards, we find this exercise eating our precious time (since we have tons more of data to enter aside from the census). I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically list all the wards in the table in a specific date, so that the encoder would just proceed in filling the census per ward.
One idea thrown was to design the table like an excel sheet (each ward has its own column). Another idea was to make individual tables per ward and make a default value for the ward_id. However I think these two are not the right directions.

I have a Table with employees from different departments and I created another form for their daily attendance details.
What i want is - if a director from department x needs to fill in attendance for all his employees, he just select his department from a combo box and all the employees under department x will be listed below and he can update the daily attendance.
This is what i have done so far - I have added a code but here the director will need to select his employees one on one which can be a hassel if he has many employees under his department.
I used below event procedures on date change
Me.TxtLastName.Value = Me.cboOperations.Column(1)

Hello,
I have a very complex issue.
First of all there is a table called "tblParTeam" wich contain the teamname and ID of teams partissepating in a certain Tournament. The tournemant data is kept in the table tblTournament.
Each tournament contains a couple of variables: "Number of teams per tournament", "Number of Rounds" wich reside in the tblTournament.
Here is the thing. I also have a form based on the tblTournament. Each tournament had a number of partisipating teams (stored in the variable "Number of teams per tournament"). Then I have a table called tblTournamentDetail wich containt the Tournament_ID, TeamPro_ID (looks in the table "tblParTeam"), TeamContra (also looks in "tblParTeam").
When I pusch a button on my form, wich is based on the tblTournament, tblParTeams and tblTournamentDetail, I would like the X (Number) of particepating teams to be filled in randomly in the tblTournamentDetail.
Lets say I have 10 teams I want 5 to be filled in randomly in the TeamPro_ID and 5 in the TeamContra_ID.
How do I go about this?
Thanks in advance.

Ok Ive looked and looked and read a multitude of threads to no avail. Please help me on this one.
I have imported a table into Access, I had no control over the original format of the table so Im stuck with the data as it is in that original doc.
So as it sits now in access..
index mnem client name
--------------------------------
1 310055 blah foo
2 blah2 john
3 blah4 joe
4 310099 grr12 bob
5 blah2 john
etc. * about 50,000 literally in size.
Looking at the empty cells in the 'number' column I need each of those to be filled. to end up with:
index mnem upin name
-------------------------------
1 310055 blah foo
2 310055 blah2 john
3 310055 blah4 joe
4 310099 grr12 bob
5 310099 blah2 john
I did this once in VB/excel but it was prohibitively slow. Im positive there is a better SQL/Access solution but just cant quite get it. My best effort to date is:
DLookUp("[mnem]","upin","[index]=" & [index]-1)
criteria mnem Is Null
In an update query updating mnem.
Downside all I get is say there is a block of 4 empty spaces in a row before the next mnem comes along, only 1 cell will be filled per run of the query.
i.e.
index mnem upin name
-------------------------------
1 310055 blah foo
2 310055 blah2 john
3 blah4 joe
4 310099 grr12 bob
5 310099 blah2 john
I figure #3 is somehow looking up at #2 before its updated and taking that empty value. ..just cant figure a way around it though.
I know this has been done before but no matter how much googling and forum diving Ive done I havent found something to specifically address this.
Thanks in advance for your help

I have a VB6 form that I want to fill with data from a field in an Access DB. I get the connection and the first field, but want the whole column to show up as the combo box items so that one can be selected, then when saved, populate and/or update another Access table. Can anyone help me cause the whole column to display instead of only the first record? TIA--Ed

I would like to use several forms to build one record in a table.
Form 1 with ask for details about one aspect of the client such as personal details.
I will then need a next button and it will go to form 2, summarising what has been inputted and now asking for the next lot of details such as their requirements.
I am guessing I could have 2 separate tables for the details and link the 2 but I have inputted lots of data already and I want to use that table as the source.
The main bit I am concerned about is when I go to form 2, how will it know to relate to the client I put in form 1?

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
