Can someone here help me with access? I want to pull data after I select "Permit Type, and search by “Permit Number” and then rest info automatically after I make the selection like:
Facility Name:
Address:
City:
State:
Zip Code:
Permit Status:
Tough to answer that question without knowing anything about the schema of your database. Can you provide some more details? That way someone can help you break down the problem.
If its your job not for your own business...i say bug your office IT SUPPORT.
i abandoned access long time ago because of |MS arrogance aka access database comparability between their own different versions.
Generally speaking, you want to provide A LOT more info (or better yet, give access to your database). If you want to send it to me privately, I can do it for you (much easier than arbitrarily tell you step by step - because I don’t use MSaccess so much to remember everything from top of my head)
Anyway here goes:
(I am assuming you know how to make Macros. I am not adding any error checking / handling, which really should be added - e.g., when textfields are empty or non-normal values)
I am assuming the form has “Record Source” is properly setup to Query / Table.
I am assuming the Permit Type Drop Down in the form is setup with 2 fields (0 = ID, 1 = Name)!
Create a new macro
Choose ApplyFilter
WhereCondition= [Permit Type] = cboPermitType.value and [Permit Number] = txtPermitNumber.text
Since info is not given, I just assumed all the things that I don’t know - and gave you the answer. Change it as needed (according to name of your fields) and hopefully it should give you a step in right direction.
