MAANI,
Since you're capturing the BadgeNo, you only need to 'display" the
EmpName and Team. When you have the BadgeNo, you can always relate it abck
to the EmpName and Team... in any form,query, or report.
If you ever "re-issue" a previously used BadgeNo, then that will require
a different solution.
I'll assume not...
Bind the combobox (ex. name cboBadgeNo) to your BadgeNo field.
In the combo, set up three columns.
BadgeNo EmpName Team
1524 John Smith Hawks
Set NoOf Columns = 3
Set Column Widths to 0"; 1.5" ;1"
What did does is... If you select a EmpName from the list, the BadgeNo
is captured to the BadgeNo field the combo is bound to. But, the combo will
"display" the EmpName. You've killed two birds with one stone... updated
BadgeNo, and displayed the EmpName.
Now, an unbound text control on the form, with the following
ControlSource...
=cboBadgeNo.Column(2)
This control will always display the contents of cboBadgeNo third
column... the Team.
(Combo columns are numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, etc... so Column(2) equals the
3rd colum.)
I have a sample A97 and A2003 sample file on my website (below) called
"Combo Updates Multiple Fields" that demomnstrates this method.
