Microsoft Access 2007 Update fields
Does the Dept# table have the "other two" fields data for the form?
Thel wrote: How do I tell access it is a combo box on the form? All of the information is coming from the employee table except these three fields.

Thel,
I think you need to specify your table layouts. There might be an issue there as to why these fields are not updating properly. -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "Thel" wrote in message ...

You need to create a query that joins the two tables on the Dept# field and
includes all of the fields you need from either table. Thel wrote: The Dept table has all three fields.

Thel,
First, yhou do not need to store GLCODE and Dept Desc in both tables unless you are alowwing changes to those fields independent from the Department Table. What you do need in the Emplyee table id Dept#. Then create a query that joins the two tables together via Dept# and that will help those field show but you REALLY don't need to or want to store duplicate information. -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "Thel" wrote in message ...

It is wise to name like fields the same in different tables. It is not wise
to use the "#" sign in a field name. Are the two Dept fields the same DataType?

The name are the same in both tables. The dept table is for inputing
information, the user does not want to lookup the data she needs to put in. if she knows the dept nbr she wants it to put desc and glcode that match that dept. The coorsponding field are all of the same data type. "ruralguy via AccessMonster.com" wrote: It is wise to name like fields the same in different tables.

Thel,
Those can APPEAR but not be STORED in the table. Storing the same data in two places defeats the purpose of normalization. The User will SEE the data and that's all the User really wants to do. They will not have to type anything into any extra fields. -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "Thel" wrote in message ... dept, desc and glcode are in both tables with the same name and data type.
