Auto Populate
David Clement 
     
11 months ago
Hello Richard.
I have created a Datebase that works and looks much like a world known shipping company's database. Mostly to see if I could do it or not. It all works as it should but keeping in mind that it can not on its own generate things like the going shipping rates, matching zip codes to their addesses and so on automatically. Right now, that is not a concern. What I need is to be reminded of how to do Auto Populate the Customers name and address after typing in their Customer ID which is in the CustomerT table. Just like the the well known shipping company.
Can you please help?
Thank you.

Hi David
As with many things in Access, there are several ways to tackle this. One way would be to create a combo box on the ID to select the customerid. At that time you could pick up the other info that you need in the same selection. (you have the id therefore you also know the customer name, address etc. Use that to populate the fields.)
Another way would be to use TempVars and do essentially the same thing. Also, take a look at Richards Invoicing Template, for I think he adds the shipping address to the invoice.

I think I am still confused about setting this Database up. I have tried using the CustomerID to Auto Populate my form, and it works, but I get the ENTIRE record, not just the Customer Information that I want. Is there a way to do this? I appreciate any help on this.
Thank you!

Do I have to write VB code for each of the fields to do this? DLookUp, AfterUpdate/DLookup?

Yes you could DLOOKUP all the values to fill in. I would probably use a record set instead because it'll probably run faster. With the afterupdate event

Dim RS As Recordset
Set RS=CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Select * From CustomerT Where CustomerID=" & CustomerIDFieldName)

Company=rs!Company
Attention=rs!Attention
Address1=rs!Address1
Address2=rs!Address2
'etc

rs.close
set rs=nothing
