Displaying Data in a Form
Using Access 2007, we have a form that has 14 controls bound to fields in a
table. What we need to do find a method where a user picks a value from a ComboBox which is one of the 14 above mentioned controls, and have the other controls populated with the appropriate data. A simplistic example is to have a combo box with last names, and when Smith is chosen from the drop down 9 records with the last name Smith are available in the form. I can then navigate through the various Smiths and find the First Name, Address, City, State, Zip, etc for any of the Smiths. Thanks in advance for any suggestions Marsh

Displaying Data in a Form
Marsh
Depending on your specific needs, consider the following variation on your request ... If your combobox holds "LastName, FirstName", you'd be less likely to have to sift through 9 "Smith" records to find the one you want. Of course, you could still have two "Smith, John" entries, so also displaying the address might help further narrow the selection... .... until you're faced with a father & son, both named John Smith, both living at the same address! One way to do what you're describing is to NOT bind that combobox to a field. Instead, use a query that returns PersonID and LastName, with PersonID (or whatever you call it) not displayed (width=0). Then, in the AfterUpdate event of that combobox (usually placed in the Header), requery the form with: Me.Requery You'll need to modify the form to have it 'fed' by a query rather than directly by the table. And in that query, you can put something like the following reference to the combobox, so the query returns only the record selected in the combobox: Forms!YourFormName!cboYourComboboxName Good luck!

Thank you very much - that was easy once I figured out where to put the
