Fill in Fields Automatically
Horace Conti 
    
4 years ago
Hello, I have a repair business and so far two tables in my Database a CustomerListT, and CustomerPartsT.  The two tables are related.  When I service equipment, I fill in parts FIELDS with parts used for the repair in the CustomerPartsT. I would like to be able to select a customer record from a customer DROP DOWN LIST that I created from a LIST BOX and have the LastName and FirstName record fill in these fields so all I have to fill in is the Parts, Part# and part cost used to repair the equipment. Later I hope to get this information out to a report invoice.   Thank you in advance Horace Conti

You will need a combination of things to make that happen.
Check out the free video of the Access Zip Code Template  That will give you an example of how to fill in the values on your form and then write it to you table. Even though it is using City, State, and Country.
You will also need to be pretty comfortable with the AfterUpdate event as well as the DLookup Function.

Essentially this is all Developer-level stuff. The Extended Cut from Invoicing will help, but if you really want to learn all of this well, you'll need to finish the Beginner and Expert series.
