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?

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 situation where, in a query, I need to autofill the column called "Xferd Vendor No" from the column called "Vendor No", where if the data in the Vendor No column changes, then the autofill changes to match.The one called Autofill Raw Data.xlsx shows the expected query results. The one called autofill Final Output.xlsx shows the final results I need when the task is completed.

Access 2010. The first table is called Clients.The Primary Key field for the Clients table is an AutoNumber field called ClientID.The other two relevant fields in this table are ClientFirstName and ClientLastName. The second table is called Contacts.In the Contacts table is a foreign key field, bound to the ClientID field from the Clients table, and also named ClientID.
On the Contacts table, the ClientID field properties are set on the Lookup tab as follows:
Display Control: Combo Box
Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: SELECT clients.ClientID, clients.ClientFirstName, clients.ClientLastName
Bound Column: 1
Further, in the Row Source's Query Builder, ClientFirstName and Client LastName both have Ascending selected as Sort criteria.
Everything works as intended: When entering data into the the Contacts table (actually, the data is entered via a form built from the Contacts table) the data entry person can click the drop-down on the combo box for the ClientID field, scroll through ClientID records, and see unique ID numbers sorted by first and last names. And the actual data for the field is stored properly as the unique ClientID number.
When entering ClientID data into the Contacts table (or form), is it possible to enable autofill based on ClientFirstName and ClientLastName, rather than ClientID? For instance, let's say we have a few clients named Joe Smith. It would be great to just start typing "Joe Smith," and have the field autofill the ClientID number for the first client named Joe Smith. The intention is to make data entry a bit quicker.

How do I get access to auto fill a text (supplier)? I realize that for a new supplier I would have to input the supplier name, however my question is what should I do for Access to enable auto-fill so that the next time I have to input that supplier it would auto fill for me. This is happening in a single column.
For example: In the supplier column, I typed Dell in the first row, Apple in the second row, HP in the third row. Now when I start typing 'Apple' in the fourth row, I want it to autofill 'Apple' because I have already input that once.

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 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 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 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??

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 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'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

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.
