Simple select query question

Rich G.

Hi

I am not an experienced Access user and have a Forms issues that I believe
is relatively simple, but beyond my limited technical skills.

I have a form populated with data from Table 1. The form requires user
input to populate one field in the form (a pull down list from created with
the look-up wizard of a field from Table 2. The field contains names of
inventory items). Based on the user's selection in this field, i would like
the next field in my form to automatically display the price, which is
located in the individual records in Table 2.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I assume some simple type of SELECT
is necessary.

I would add the price field to the ComboBox you already have. You can
use the ColumnWidths property to control the visiblity and hide it.

Then add a TextBox with this ControlSource "=yourComboBoxName.Column(3)".

Include the price field in the combo box's row source query.
Then you can use the AfterUpdate event to populate the text
box:

Me.textbox = Me.combobox.Column(1)
