Dlookup Not working (1 Viewer)

[Locopete99]

Hi Guys,

Can you look at the below and let me know why this isnt working?

Other Dlookups of the same format are working but this one gets me a runtime error

Course = DLookup("[Level]", "[Tbl_Level]", "[ID]=" & Me![Course])

So the field Im looking for is Level on Tbl level.

The ID and Course fields are both number and course is the FK of the level table in the Tbl_Current table.

So i'm trying to find the course name by looking up where the ID field of Tbl_Level is the same as the Course field of Tbl_Current.

I'd try :

Course = DLookup("Level", "Tbl_Level", "ID= " & Me.Course)

Hi Riti,

Thats one of the variations I have tried, didn't work.

I'm using something like this too in my db and it works just fine

strCriteria = "[DeviceID]=" & Me![DeviceID]
DevInstr1Operator = DLookup("Operator", "tblDeviceDestrInsp1", strCriteria)

Hope it helps

Just in case it helps I've added screen grabs of both my tables in datasheet and design view

Hi Riti,

Still not working for some reason.

Yet for instance I have another one that is working:

ID3 = DLookup("user", "tbl_User", "[CID]=" & Me![User])

Same basic format but one is working and one isnt and again bother CID and Me.User are number fields

check the naming probably...

Course = DLookup("[Level]", "[Tbl_Level]", "[ID]=" & Me![Course])

ambiguity with the name "Course" maybe?
