imputing data displays info in another text box?

[kanga202]

Haya all, I’m new to access and I’m trying to create a database for my boss, but am a bit stuck, it’s a Bundy clock system in access, I have the tables set up (I think), and what I’m stuck on is building a form where, when I put in the employs ID and press enter there name appears underneath, can anyone point me in the right direction of a tute that would show me how to do this?

Thanks so much

The way I have the table set up is 3 fields, staff ID, first name, last name. All within one table

I think I’m in over my head… but you have to learn somehow

Hello kanga202!

Look at "DemoComboBoxA2000.mdb", I think it is what you need.

Yes that’s so close to what I need, the only thing is it cant be a combo box, it needs to be a straight text box that they can enter there ID in, I cant make it easy to enter data in for other people

How do I make the same thing, but not a combo box?

Thanks heaps for the help
