In the AfterUpdate event of the Pro_ID control, construct an SQL statement
to retrieve the values you want and place them in the appropriate controls:
Dim strSQL As String
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
strSQL = "SELECT field1,field2 FROM table WHERE [Pro_ID]=" & Me.txtPro_ID
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
If rs.RecordCount > 0 Then
Me.txtField1 = rs.Fields![field1]
Me.txtField2 = rs.Fields![field2]
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Alternately, you could use a series of DLookUp calls to do the same thing,
although using multiple DLookUps usually contributes a lot more overhead
(and is slower) than using a single recordset:
Me.txtField1 = DLookUp("field1","table","[Pro_ID]=" & Me.Pro_ID)
Me.txtField2 = DLookUp("field2","table","[Pro_ID]=" & Me.Pro_ID)

that provides a list of all the Pro_ID's in your form's recordset. Then you
use the After Update event of the combo to make the record for the selected
Pro_ID the current record.

J_Goddard via AccessMonster.com said:I don't know what version of Access you have, but in A2000 your code won't
work because of the if rs.recordcount > 0 line. The recordcount for a
recordset is not accurate until all the records in the recordset have been
accessed. Since in your IF statement you have not accessed any records yet,
the Recordcount property is still 0.
To check if the retrieval returned any records, you can use
if not rs.BOF then....
I suspect this might have been the problem when you stated that the code
compiled and ran without errors, but no fields were filled in.

Saying the RecordCount is not accurate is not the same as
saying it is totally inaccurate. While it may not give the
total number of records in the recordset, it is guaranteed
to return a value greater than 0 if the recordset returns at
least one record. The key to thinking about this issue is
that "the number of records accessed so far" refers to
Access accessing the records, which is not necessarily the
same as the number of records the VBA code has accessed.
Checking RecordCount>0 on a newly opened recordset is just
as valid as checking BOF And EOF. This is true because if
the recordset returns any records, then Access has retrieved
at least one record. I.e. If neither BOF nor EOF is True,
then there must be a current record (which is guaranteed to
be the first record in a newly opened recordset).

Carl,
I tried your way (see below) but something is not working right.
I
keep
getting a compile error on the strSQL line. Am I doing something
wrong?
==================================
Private Sub Pro_ID_AfterUpdate()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
strSQL = "SELECT [prov1].LAST_NAME, [prov1].FIRST_NAME FROM
[prov1]
WHERE
[Pro_ID]=" & Me.txtPro_ID
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
If rs.RecordCount > 0 Then
Me.txtLAST_NAME = rs.Fields![ LAST NAME]
Me.txtFIRST_NAME = rs.Fields![FIRST NAME]
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
=================================
:
I have a form that has several fields, one of which is called
Pro_ID.
I
would like to use whatever number is entered in that field to
run
a
query
that fills in the rest of the fields with information
associated
with
that
Pro_ID. Any ideas as to how I can achieve this? Thanks.
In the AfterUpdate event of the Pro_ID control, construct an SQL
statement
to retrieve the values you want and place them in the
appropriate
controls:
Dim strSQL As String
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
strSQL = "SELECT field1,field2 FROM table WHERE [Pro_ID]=" &
Me.txtPro_ID
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
If rs.RecordCount > 0 Then
Me.txtField1 = rs.Fields![field1]
Me.txtField2 = rs.Fields![field2]
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Alternately, you could use a series of DLookUp calls to do the
same
thing,
although using multiple DLookUps usually contributes a lot more
overhead
(and is slower) than using a single recordset:
Me.txtField1 = DLookUp("field1","table","[Pro_ID]=" & Me.Pro_ID)
Me.txtField2 = DLookUp("field2","table","[Pro_ID]=" & Me.Pro_ID)

Carl Rapson said:Just as an experiment, try changing the names of the controls on the form to
something like "txtPro_Last_Name", to differentiate them from the table
field names. Then, use the new control names:
Me.txtPro_Last_Name = rs.Fields![Pro_Last_Name]
Does the error still occur?
Carl Rapson
Yepp said:I am getting a compile error (method or data member not found) and also the
"item not found in this collection" error. I ran the query by itself to
test
it and it worked fine. I checked the names to make sure they were
correct...that is what is puzzling.
The names of the controls are Pro Number, Pro Last Name, and Pro First
Name.
The field names from the table are Pro_Number, Pro_Last_Name, and
Pro_First_Name.
Carl Rapson said:What errors are you getting? Are you certain you're using the correct
names
for the controls and the table fields? Did you try running the query
standalone? What does your SQL string look like in the Immediate window?What are the control names (the Name property in the Properties window
for
each control) and the field names (from the table)?
Carl Rapson
Carl,
I put breaks in the code and keep getting errors on the lines in the if
statement:
Me.txtField1 = rs.Fields![field1]
Me.txtField2 = rs.Fields![field2]
I changed the fields to:
Me.Pro_Last_Name = rs.Fields![Pro_Last_Name]
Me.Pro_First_Name = rs.Fields![Pro_First_Name]
Is my syntax off, or am I missing something? I'm using Me.<the text
box's
control name> = rs.Fields![the field name of the text box].
:
Put a breakpoint in your code and step through each line, checking the
values in the Immediate window. Is the AfterUpdate event actually
firing
(if
not, you'll never reach your breakpoint)? What does your SQL string
look
like after you build it? Is the recordset actually being populated?
Are
there values in the recordset fields? One thing I do frequently is
the
SQL string in the Immediate window, then copy the SQL statement and
paste
it
into an empty Query window (in SQL view). If the query doesn't run, I
can
usually catch some errors there.
One important question: is the data type of the Pro_ID field (in the
table)
text or numeric? If it's text, even if you're storing a number you'll
need
to put quotes around the value in the SQL string you build:
strSQL = "...WHERE [Pro_ID]='" & Me.<your control name> & "'"
Note the single quotes around the value of Pro_ID. For clarity, here's
the
code with spaces inserted:
WHERE [Pro_ID] = ' " & Me.<your control name> & " ' "
Carl Rapson
Carl,
I used my control name instead of the 'txtPro_ID' but still nothing
happens.
There are no errors when I run the code...just none of the info
fills
in.
:
Is the control (not the field) really named 'txtPro_ID'? If not,
use
your
own control name there.
