Here's what I have that doesn't work:

Private Sub cbxCompany_AfterUpdate()
Me![Goal] = DLookup("[Goal]", "tblMailCodeTasks", tblMailCodeTasks.MailCode
= [Forms]![frmManualTasksDataEntry]![cbxMailCodeTask]) And
((tblMailCodeTasks.DisabilityIndicator) =
[Forms]![frmManualTasksDataEntry]![cbxDisabilityIndicator]) And
((tblMailCodeTasks.State) = [Forms]![frmManualTasksDataEntry]![cbxState]) And
((tblMailCodeTasks.Active) = "yes")
End Sub

Any help is appreciated!

The following assumes that all your fields in the Lookup are Text values and
so are surrounded by single quotes.

Me![Goal] = DLookup("[Goal]", "tblMailCodeTasks", "MailCode = '" &
[Forms]![frmManualTasksDataEntry]![cbxMailCodeTask] & "' And
DisabilityIndicator = '" &
[Forms]![frmManualTasksDataEntry]![cbxDisabilityIndicator] & "' And State =
'" & [Forms]![frmManualTasksDataEntry]![cbxState] & "' And Active = 'yes')

I'm still getting a syntax error when I copy and paste your code. I must not
understand.

Sorry missed the closing double quotes off the end

...... And Active = 'yes'")

Also it needs to be all on one line unless you use the underscore
continuation character.
