Making a Form Field Blank
James Hopkins 
     
5 years ago
Hey Richard, I been working on my company's database. I have been working on "To-Do Tasks, Service Orders, Estimate, & Invoice Forms" that havin Cascading Combo Boxes and a Text Box that 'DLookup' the Location of Properties from a Query. But the problem I having is that if I don't select Data in the Combo Boxes. The DLookup Text Box shows, "#ERROR". How can I fix that? Also, there a better way than writing the same VBA Code in every Form that has this Cascading Combo Boxes?

For the DLOOKUP, if it's returning null and giving you an error, use the NZ function.

NZ(DLOOKUP("Name","CustomerT","ID= & ID),"") Would give me "" on null values (blank value)

Alternatively, you could use VBA coding on the combo box event to just set the value or the DLOOKUP of the text box based on your selection.
