From: Melissa Brown Melissa on 13 Apr 2010 14:16 Is it possible? I have been reading and trying different things, but no successs yet. I have a customer base table with name, address, etc a products table a facility table When a customer calls to make a reservation in a facility I would like to open the reservation form and when I enter the customer's ID, that customer table info appear to be verified or corrected. I do not need anything other than the customer's ID on the reservation form. Ideas? Advice?

It's not clear what you've tried and in what way you've failed! Perhaps this would help: put a Combo Box on the form using the Customer table as its rowsource. Include the fields that you want to see, and set its ColumnCount large enough for all the desired fields, and set the ColumnWidths to conceal everything except the customer name. On the Form put textboxes with control sources like =comboboxname.Column(n) where n is the zero based index of the field you want to see - e.g. if the address is in the third column of the query use (2). This will display the values from the customer table. The values will be read-only though. -- John W. Vinson [MVP]
