Looking for assistance with an Access 2003 database. I am currently trying
to assist in the creation of a database for a non-profit organization that my
wife is volunteering with and I am concerned with errors in entering data.
For the tblvolunteers, I have following standard fills VolunteerNumber
(autoid), strFirstName, strLastName, strAddress, strCity, strState, and
strPostalCode. I have downloaded a table that has the zipcode married up
with the city, state, and areacode. I would like for the user to select
their zipcode on frmVolunteer via a combo-box. Once they do that, I would
like to have the City and State autopopulate (based on the information in
tblZipcode with the actual Zipcode as the primary key)...so that I don't have
a screw up on entry...which their Excel sheets crrently reflect. I have set-
up a relationship between strPostalCode(which I am thinking needs to be an
integer) and the Zipcode table (note that the one I have has the Zipcode as
text). I have other areas that would also benefit from a similar function,
but I am at a loss on how to do it. There was a day when I felt competent at
working with Access...and I have been rereading all of my texts to try to get
up to speed...but I am in a time constraint with this and I am not to proud
to ask for assistance.
