New User - Field population based on combo box selection
Hello - I am new to Access and I am trying to create a database for
association memberships. I want to be able to select a membership type on a form from a combo box and have the membership fee automatically populate a field based on the selection. How do I do this? Please "dumb" your answers down as much as possible LOL!

Amy,
Assuming you have a table with Membership Type and Membership Fee on your form you could use the wizard to create your combo box. After you create your combo box you could have an unbound text field to capture the Membership Fee, using a DLookUp. If you need help writing the DLookUp then post back with the ComboBox name, the table with the Membership Type and Membership Fee and which field is the Primary Key in said table. -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "amy2876" wrote in message ...

Gina, I think I should also tell you that I have set the Membership Fees to a
Currency Data Type. I am not sure if this makes a difference or not, but I thought I would mention it. "amy2876" wrote: Hi Gina!

Amy,
Just to be sure you typed in the Membership Types and Fees with those spaces in it? Also you missed a few fields... Table: Membership Types and Fees MembershipID - Is this a numeric field? Membership Type Membership Currency - Or does it have another name? Your combo box needs to be two columns MembershipID and Membership Type, The first column can be hidden to all you see is Membership Type. Potentially, you could use the below in an unbound text box as long as the fields are as stated above... Textbox name: txtMembershipFee =DLookup("[Membership Currency]", "[Membership Types and Fees]", "[MembershipID]=" & Me![Membership Type]) On another note, putting spaces in your Object and Field names causes you to have to bracket anything with a space. I try to avoid the extra key strokes by eliminating spaces in the befroe mentioned items. -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "amy2876" wrote in message ...

Hi Gina, thank you for your response.
Yes, I do have the spaces in there. I did not realize that it can cause issues, but thanks for letting me know. Membership Types and Fees is the table MembershipID is a numeric field and is also the primary key Membership Type is the second column in this table Membership Fees is the third, not Currency. I just had the format for that field set to Currency so that it would display dollars instead of plain numbers. Where would I put the DLookUp statement? I am assuming in the Control Source field in the properties of the text box I created called "Membership Fee", but I am not positive.
