So I had a question come my way regarding some form operations. It will probably help someone else, so I am going to let you know how I did it.
Basically it had to do with setting 2 other form controls based on the first.
Here is a picture:
The table data is a simple 3 column table:
Here is the simple code I used on the “AfterUpdate” event of the combo box:
Private Sub cboAgencyID_AfterUpdate()
Dim intAgency As Integer
Me.txtProviders = DLookup("Provider", "tblAgencies", "AgencyID='" & Me.cboAgencyID & "'")
'LOOKUP THE VALUE FOR THE OPTION FRAME GROUP
Select Case Me.cboAgencyID.Column(1)
Case "College"
intAgency = 1
Case "District"
intAgency = 2
Case "CTSO"
intAgency = 3
Case "CBO"
intAgency = 4
Case "Leadership"
intAgency = 5
Case "Public"
intAgency = 6
Case Else
intAgency = 0
End Select
Me.fraAgencies.Value = intAgency
End Sub
I am setting the value of the Provider textbox by using the DLookup function. Reason? It was easy to use:
Me.txtProviders = DLookup("Provider", "tblAgencies", "AgencyID='" & Me.cboAgencyID & "'")
So based on whatever agency is selected, lookup in the “tblAgencies” table the value in the “Provider” column.
Then I am using the value in the “AgencyType” field to select the integer value of the AgencyType I want to select in my option frame.
That’s all. Let me know if you have any questions.
