Simple Dlookup Probem
Aug 15, 2006
I have a form called 'Order Details' that contain a field called 'Name' and combobox called 'Product Code'. The combo box is sourced from a table called 'Titles'.
When the value in the combobox 'Product Code' is changed, I would like the 'Name' field to lookup the corresponding value from the 'Titles' table. But I can't get Dlookup to work. And it's driving me mad! Here's the code I'm using as the Control Source for the 'Name' text box:
=DLookUp("[Title Name]","Titles","[Code]=forms!Order_Details![Product Code]")

I am trying to use dlookup to fill an unbound textbox on my form. I know I am doing a simple thing wrong and I cant figure out what it is.
My form has a field from table(m5Warehouse) called M5Location. It is a bin location. My form has an unbound textbox called BinMax.
I have a table called tblbinmax that has 2 columns. Binnumber(same as m5location) and binmax(maxinum number of pallets that can be placed in bin)
When i fill in M5location on my form, I wanted code to fire on afterupdate to look in tblbinmax, look at the binnumber and put in the value in unbound textbox called BinMax.
This is my code: me.binmax.Value = DLookup("[binmax]", "tblbinmax", "[binnumber] =" & Me.M5Location)
I have tried every way i can figure to make this work, and i keep getting error message, name?#, etc. I get error msg 3075 and error msg 2001...PLEASE HELP!!

Hi guys i know this is a simple one but i have been struggling for ages now i would very much love some help. I have a customer database that has a number of tables customer, quotes and materials. I keep getting errors all the time from the database when i try enter information im not sure whether it is my relationships or my tables setup.
The first table that will be displayed is the customer one once all the information has been entered into that one then the customer database should be linked to the quotes table and then from the customers database it drops down into the quotes with the little + sign and then the user enters all the information to do with the job but the field Materials must call a dropdown box, and then display the contents from the materials database, but only the material name.
If anyone can help please do as i have been struggling with this for over a week now and have tryed to solve it myself but with no joy Thanks in advanced i have included the database link below:

Ok I am right now making a simple Vendor/Product database to create a line sheet for some sales folks. I have 3 tables: Vendors, Products, and an associate entity Vendors_Products to relate the two. I have a form currently that draws the Vendor Name (primary key) from the Vendor table and the Product Name from the associate entity. This allows me to create new vendors and select current product types from a drop down box. The problem is that the drop down box is too long and it is tiresome when 1 vendor has 10 product types.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? I thought it would be better to have option buttons and display all available products. Then you could just click all of the option buttons that apply to that Vendor and it would create the relationships...is this possible?

Can anyone see where I've gone wrong. The purpose should be if the value in the query is 0 or less (a minus amount) and the order number and part number matches the order number and part number on the form then a warning should appear. It's not picking up the record for flagging when it should:
If (DLookup("OutstandingQty", "qryremaininginvoiceamount", "OutstandingQty <= 0" & " And [OrdNo] = " _
& Me.[OrdNo] & " And [InvPtID] = " & Me.InvPtID)) Then

Hi,
I am pretty new to Ms Access.
I have a table which has a list of trades (Builder, Carpenter, Painter etc) going down the side and going across the top I have the number of employees (1Emp, 2Emp, 3Emp). The values in the table show the charge for that number of employees for that trade.
I have a form which has three combobox's that show the Number of Manual Employees, Number of Clerical Employees and the number of working directors and a combo box that shows the trade. What I want to happen is when the user clicks a command button on the form the charge for the total number of employees for that trade is shown in a txt box.
I have the following code attached to my button:
Private Sub GetValue_Click ()
Dim TotalEmployees As Integer
TotalEmployees = [NoManual] + [NoClerical] + [NoWorkingDir]
Value = Dlookup(TotalEmployees & "Emp", "ValueTable", "[Business] = Forms![Form1]![Business]")
End Sub.
When I type "[3Emp]" in the Dlookup it will work fine and finds the charge for that trade. But when I pass it the Result from the addition and concatenate it with "Emp" it doesn't seem to work.
I originally thought it was because I declared the TotalEmployees as an Integer by I also tried declaring it as a string - to no avail.
I just can not figure out why it will not look up the TotalEmployees.
I would much appreciate any help on this on any suggest as to how I can get the values from my table.

Please help prevent my laptop from being smashed against a wall numerous times and then being thrown out the window, after all, the wall is mostly innocent in this situation.
I have read post upon post and other dim references to DLookup in the Access Help file, etc. I am generally a bright guy (although inexperienced in DataBases, VBA and some forms of lovemaking) but I have not been able to figure out the DLookup function. Could you please give me a VERY simple explination of how to use this function and it's expressions?
If it will help, we can use the following senario...
Table_Special_Needs
Special_Need_ID
Special_Need (Data Includes: Initiatives, High Ropes, etc.)
Standard_Price
Table_Event
Event_ID
Initiatives
High_Ropes
Extra_Linens
I would like to be able to add a price field for each item in the Event table and have the table lookup the price from the Special Needs table.
Many thanks for any help you can give.

Dear all,
Firstly, thank you all for allowing me into your group!
Secondly however, PLEASE HELP!
I've created a database for storing students details and exam records for my university department, and everthing is fine except for one final problem: In order to allow final grades to be calculated all student marks have to be stored numerically, but each number corresponds to a code: eg N=0, G2=1, G1=2 .... A1=22
I'm trying to get the student marks report to display not just the numeric code, but also the final code eg, C2. To do so I've been trying to use DLookup as follows:
Expr1: =DLookUp("[Grade Code]","Lookup Table","[Score]= Forms![Total Grade]")
where "Grade Code" is a field in the Lookup Table (ie, it lists the A1, A2), "Lookup Table" is a table listing all the numbers and their corresponding codes, "Score" is the numeric score in the "Lookup Table" table, and "Total Grade" is a calculated (Numeric) field in the open report (though created in an accompanying query). I just can't get it to work however!! When I run the report, the column is just blank, and nothing I do seems to be able to get the corresponding code (Eg, B1, B2) to appear on the report!
Please help me if you can, I'm not kidding when I say my job is on the line with getting this database to work! Once I've got this sorted, all I need to do is find a way of letting the secretaries input the alphanumeric code, but the database automatically stores that as a number. I figured however, that sorting the first problem will go some way to finding out how to sort the 2nd one!
Thank you all just for being out there!

Hi,
I am trying to use a dlookup to return the price of an item that meets two criteria. This is what I came up with, but it doesn't work. The part after the AND works by itself, but when I combine the two I either get a #Error or no values that meet the criteria.
Any suggestions? I can provide more info if needed.
Expr3: DLookUp("[Crt plan price]/1000","CPC List","[Plant] = ' " IIf(IsNumeric(Right([Date Code],2)),"Unk",Right([Date Code],2)) ' " And [Material] = " & [Item])
Thanks!

Hi all
I am trying to set a criteria in a DLookup and I don’t know if it’s possible. I’ve managed to get a result using the following code in a form but it only matches an exact date.
strValue = DLookup("Price", "Price List", "ServiceItemID = " & "ServiceItemID" & " and CStr([ContractStartDate]) ='" & CStr([Date]) & "'").
What I really need is to be able to do a between criteria on the [Date] field and check out whether that fits between [ContractStartDate] and [ContractEndDate] and then return the Price according to the [Date].
I actually want to run it as a query but have no idea how to do this. So, can a "between criteria" be put into a DLookup? and can it all be put into a select query? If so how? If not, what better way it acheive the desired outcome?:confused:
Thanks

I've got a dlookup problem, i'm working on an adp recreating from an mdb. I've got a main form called contract_sessons and then a sub form called session_contracts and a sub form in that called consessions. In the consessions this holds ths dates for each session what i'm trying to do is lookup the period for the date in the table called dates. The current code I'm using in an unbound field is =DLookUp("[Period]","[dates]","[date]=Forms![Contract_Sessions].Form![Session_Contracts].Form![conSessions].Form![Date]") but all that appears is #error.
Anyone help

I've been reading and reading all previous posts and have yet to find anything related to what I need help with.
I've done this before through help from my dad, so I know it's possible. What I basically would like to do is show a list all records that start with a letter picked from a combo box. I.e. combo box letter selected is g, a list box on the form will show all records on my 1 table that start with the letter g.
there's a way to use dlookup (i believe), to show this by taking the first letter from all the fields and comparing them to the letter listed in the combo box. but I'm completely lost in how to do it.

Private Sub Command30_Click()
CUSTOMERS.Value = DLookup("[Account] & ' ' & '(' & [VAR] & ')' ", "Customer Variance")
End Sub
How could I make ALL the records show up in the textbox one underneath the other? Or separated by a comma?

I would like to automatically fill in a persons initials if they receive a referral and if it is located on a particular unit.
I already use a form having a unit text box and whether it is a physical therapist or occupational therapist. The referral text box just takes a number.
Right now I have code that says, if referral is more than 0, and the Unit is ???, then therapist = xxxx.
There are 14 units, shared by 21 therapists.
Would DLookup be good, and if so, How do I go about it.
I have a Referral Table, and a UnitAssignment table.

Hi all
I'm using an ADO event to update or add records
I'd like to check records in a table using dlookup.
Effectively I want o scan the table dataPhotos to check if the value EQID is present in the table. If it is ... I want to update. If it isn't I'd like to add the record. Below is the code I'm using. I'm doing something wrong.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
Dim ADOrs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim sSQL As String
Dim Photo As Variant
Photo = DLookup("[EQID]", "dataPhotos") = Me.cboStudentList
If Photo = Me.cboStudentList Then
sSQL = "Select * from dataPhotos where dataPhotos.EQID = '" & cboStudentList & "';"
Set ADOrs = New ADODB.Recordset
ADOrs.Open sSQL, CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
With ADOrs
.Fields("Intranet") = Me.chkIntranet
.Fields("Internet") = Me.chkInternet
.Fields("SPub") = Me.chkSPub
.Fields("GMed") = Me.chkGMed
.Fields("IUAagreement") = Me.chkIUA
.Fields("Comment") = Me.txtComment
.Update
End With
Set ADOrs = Nothing
MsgBox Me.txtStudentName & " Edited"
Else
sSQL = "dataPhotos"
Set ADOrs = New ADODB.Recordset
ADOrs.Open sSQL, CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
With ADOrs
.AddNew
.Fields("EQID") = Me.cboStudentList
.Fields("Intranet") = Me.chkIntranet
.Fields("Internet") = Me.chkInternet
.Fields("SPub") = Me.chkSPub
.Fields("GMed") = Me.chkGMed
.Fields("IUAgreement") = Me.chkIUA
.Fields("Comment") = Me.txtComment
