Tables :: Auto Fill Fields With Drop Down List
Nov 9, 2012
I have a Table named TBLBookings...on one of the fields I have a Lookup wizard thats linked to a Table named TBLVehicles which includes
Car Reg
Car Type
Location
When I run the TBLBooking and click the drop down list it shows up
Car Reg
Car Type
Location
but once the field is clicked all it shows in the records is the REG where in a form id like to see what vehicle it is location etc...is it possible to have extra fields in the form named Car Type and Location and once the registration is chosen it automatically fills in the correct details for them?

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 have a data entry form feeding a table named [Group Members] using Access 2010.
It has 4 fields; [Group ID] & [Group Name] derived from tbl.[Groups] and [Member ID] & [Member Name] derived from tbl.[Mail List]. The 'ID' fields are foreign keys from the respective tables.
The 2 'Name' fields have drop down lists for input selection, but my requirement is to cause auto fill of the 'ID' fields when the respective 'Names' are selected.
I had assumed that this simple requirement could be achieved with a suitable control on the form property sheet. It is so simple to do in Excel!!

I have two tables, "Summary" and 'POC Information". In the "POC Information Table I have all my Contacts Information (Name, Title, Phone, Email, etc...) and I am trying to assign 2 POCs to each of my multiple projects located in the "Summary" Table. I am using a Form called "JCIDS Tracker Input Form" as the link. So far I am able to assign one POC by a combo box that lists "Full Name", then it autofills the other information...Phone Number, Email, etc... The problem come into being when I want to assign a second POC to the same Project...I can assign a name, but it won't correctly autofill the rest of the information...it just autofills in the information from the first POC that was selected.

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 would like to have a lookup list (drop down), if an item is not in the list I would like to be able to enter it at that time - how would I go about setting this up. I am new to Access and not sure where to start.
Table City:
CityID Autonumber
City Text
Zip Text
Also, I would like to be able to type a letter - say W and it would go to cities that start with W (Wauwatosa), rather than having to scroll through the list.

How can I get some mainform fields' data to be the first entry in a subform? From the mainform, I would like the Head of Household name and date of birth to be carried over to the first entry in the HouseholdMembers subform.
The two forms are tied to separate tables. For each household member I need to be able to enter full legal name, date of birth and some additional pieces of information such as income and source of income.
What I'd like to avoid is making the users enter the Head of Household's name and date of birth twice. Is there a way to carry that information over to the subform?
Thank you, Charlotte

Is it possible to connect data so that when one field of a record is entered the rest of the fields associated with that first field of the record automatically fill in?
Example: If I were to enter a new contact record name in the name field I want the corresponding fields of address, city, state, zip, phone....etc. to fill in automatically.

is there a way to have a form set to either auto populate fields based on the FIRST FIELD? For example: if the user type in the STUDY ID, the other fields like (first name, last name etc..) are auto-populated/auto-filled? and if the STUDY ID is new and not in the table, then the users simply fill in all the fields/complete the form and save? And I would also like a message box to show when I am typing the STUDY ID that would say something like: this person is on the system already. Click YES for this person and NO to add the user?...

Is there an easy way in Data access pages to do like you do in forms as far as using a dropdown list and when you choose a name/acct#/rec# or whatever, that the rest of the fields are automatically updated to match? Just curious.
If you need an example, I can provide one.... basically, I'm trying to get a data-acess-page to act like a form so someone without access can do a simple search.

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 am in Access 2007. I have two tables (Employer Contacts and Employer Followup). I have been successful in linking the "Employer Name" sections between the tables, and I have added to the "Employer Followup" table a combo box for the "Employer Name" field that when clicked successfully shows all the companies we added to "Employer Contacts" table in the field of the name "employer name". This is what I want. Now the trouble comes with trying to get the data from the fields; Location, contact name, original contact date, phone and email to auto fill into "employer follow up" using the information captured from the "Employer Contact" table. I can see it all in the drop down box but cannot get it to auto fill.

I created a database to track a group of records (people). I couldn't figure out how to auto number the primary key to a random unique number that was less than 10 digits so I generated a list of random numbers and just use the next number off the list as I enter the next person which works OK- but I have to put that number on each table as the ID number to relate back to the Primary key and it seems that I should be able to have those auto fill with the entered number. Is it possible to have the number typed in "table 1" (people) primary key auto fill onto each of the other tables as an ID number??

The table ProductInfo has an ItemID, and its corresponding Quantity.The table Orders has a PO column, an Item# column, a OrderQuantity column, and the column Item#CurrentStock which holds the Quantity of the selected item, for 3 items.I have created a form that has a ComboBox populated with the ItemID's from ProductInfo, that when selected populate the corresponding Item# in the Orders table.
I would love if the Quantity(stock) from ProductInfo would automatically fill the Item#CurrentStock field on the form when the ItemID is selected from the ComboBox.But all of the fields only relate to Item# from the first ComboBox!?!?I have tried =dlookup,

I am new to Access, and I need some help for this project I am working on. Please let me know if my question doesn't make sense.
I have created four tables: Clients, Tenants, Property, Contract
Clients
Client ID | Client Name |
Tenants
Tenants ID | Property ID | First Name | Last Name
Property
Property ID | Client Name | Contract ID
Contract
Contract ID | Clients ID | Client Name | Tenant ID | Tenant Name |Property ID |
Is there a way that when I enter Client Name in the Contract table, Client ID would automatically come up and check against other fields in the table if the information entered in Contract table is in sync and relevant against to data entered in Client, Tenants, and Property table?
Please let me know if this is not clear and I need explain more. Thank you.

I'm stuck on making a form to automatically fill information in the other boxes based on what I typed in a previous box.
In one table, called Project_ID, there are three fields, in which the first, contains the unique key for the product. Example:
ProdID (unique key) | Product Name | Product Use | etc
In the other, I have a table called Shipping Reports, in which it contains the two fields previously stated after another unique key called ShipID
ShipID | Product ID | Product Name | etc
What I am trying to accomplish, is when I go to a form under Shipping Reports, and type in an ID in the field for Product ID, I want it to extract the information for the Product Name under the table Project_ID

A Complaint Number is assigned using the format: PCYYMMXXX
Where:
PC = Prefix indicating Product Complaint
YY = Last two digits of the year when complaint originated
MM = Two digits for the month when complaint originated
XXX = Sequential number starting at 001 for each year

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 an Ms Access newbie and need some help on how to update 2 fields from a drop down list.
The drop down list has 5 columns. The first column is the partname that is bound and updates the table with that partname. I want to take the
listprice which is the 5th column and update a field in the table with the listprice that corresponds to the part name.
Thank you.

I've managed to use the lookup wizard to show me two fields in the drop down list, first name and last name, but when i select a record I can only see the first name in the cell, not both.
Is there a way to display them both together?

I have a sizable list of GIS polygon shapes(~9000 data points), collected over 15 years, that I am trying to shrink down to unique ID's. Each years data has a unique label, but for many of the polygons the shape does not change from year to year, so I want to assign a unique ID that encompasses all of the years that shape existed. Some examples:
1950- Parcel A - 2 acre star same
1951- Parcel K - 2 acre star same
1952- Parcel L - 2 acre star same
1953- Parcel F - 2 acre star same
1954- Parcel J - 3 acre box same
1955- Parcel Z - 3 acre box same
Ok, simple enough. I created a unique polygon ID in a separate table, and set the first 4 records to some value, let's say AAAA. The latter 2 records I called something else, BBBB let's say. These values are used in a combobox so my data entry stooges can easily assign each duplicated polygon the same ID, so a quick query will show that polygon XXXX is comprised of so many years worth of the same value, just with a different label. Now my question...
In the above example, after 1953 the 2 acre star polygon never exists again, so I want to 'retire' that option from the combobox so it cannot be chosen in error. As it stands now, if I were to enter the following date point 1956- Parcel N - 3 acre box
I can still choose AAAA or BBBB as the unique polygon ID to equate it to. Is there some way (maybe a boolean option) to disable just a specific combobox value so it cannot be entered in new records, but STILL shows up in old records, a.k.a. is not deleted?

I have 2 tables tblworkdone and tbltests, both have a date field and are both subforms in a tabbed form on the main form. When I enter a date into the tbltests subform I would like the date to automatically be entered into the tblworkdone date field and create a new record so that when I move to the tblworkdone subform with the date already there.

I am trying to create a database to manage some project related functions. the main thing I want it to do is manage the resource allocation and costs related to fixed price projects and ultimately be able to produce reports that show the Bid vs Forecast vs Actual in relation to someones time and hence cost.in building the first table which I want to store the initial Bid data. I have a need to have fields automatically generate based on the value of two other fields. this is used to identify how long the project will run for.
for example:
prject start date of 1/1/2014
project end date of 31/12/2014
Auto Generate 12 fields in which to put the monthly resource usage for each resource.
