On a form, I have a combobox, with the RowSource coming from a query (specifically, a calculated field in the query). When the user makes a selection, I want to update a label on the same form with a different column from that same query, but of course associated to the selection.
I’m fine with VBA and writing queries and whatnot, but I am not very familiar with Access forms.
By the way, I tried searching for an answer to this, but it was quite difficult because I don’t know what this thing is really called that I am trying to do. A good link to a site explaining this would be perfectly fine (no need to write a bunch of stuff here if it already exists elsewhere).
In the After Update event of my combo box,
cboUserID, I can set a label control,lblFoo, to the value of the second column in the selected row of the combo.If your combo box is bound to a field in the form’s record source, you may want to do that same operation from the form’s On Current event also.
