Dlookup to Find a Record
Will Schmidt 
     
4 days ago
I have a table called "Table1. In Table1 is a field called "PartNumber" I also have a form to add new records in Table1. So, In the form, When i put in a value (String value) in "PartNumber" field I want to do a Dlookup to see of that part number already exists. What is the proper Dlookup Function to do this?
Here is what I tried:
Dim PartItem as String
PartItem = Dlookup("PartNumber","Field1", PartNumber = " & 'PartNumber'")
This  always returns a null no matter what.

The TableName is wrong. You said the table was called Table1 (I would give the Table a more descriptive name). Your DLookup is calling it Field1.

DLookup
DLookup("Field", "Domain", "Criteria")

Also, your quotes around the criteria aren't correct. You may want to also review Double Double Quotes and/or Escape Double Quotes
