populate text box based on combo box value (1 Viewer)

[Danny]

Greetings,
I’d like to auto populate a textbox (txtDAUEmail) based on selection made in a combo box (cboDAUNM):

If John Doe1 is selected from the combo box, then the textbox should auto fill the analyst’s e-mail address. e.g. John.Doe1@emiladdress.com

I changed the row source of the combo box to CALCULATE the email address:

SELECT tblLOGIN.USERID, tblLOGIN.INVNM, tblLOGIN.PWD, IIf([INVNM]=” John Doe1”,” John.Doe1@emiladdress.com”,Iif([INVNM]=” John Doe2”,” John.Doe2@emiladdress.com”,Iif([INVNM]=” John Doe3","analyst3@ John.Doe3@emiladdress.com ",""))) AS EMail
FROM tblLOGIN
WHERE (((tblLOGIN.PWD) Like "ad*") AND ((tblLOGIN.STATUS)="A"))
ORDER BY tblLOGIN.INVNM;

Result:
USERID INVNM PWD Email
001 John Doe1 **** John.Doe1@emiladdress.com
002 John Doe2 **** John.Doe2@emiladdress.com
003 John Doe3 **** John.Doe3@emiladdress.com

TIA

Hi. Have you tried using?

=[ComboboxName].[Column](3)

As was also previously suggested here.

Just bring the email address as an additional hidden column and then assign to the control

Me.Textbox = Me.cboUser.Column(x)

x is the column number, but column index starts at 0, so third column would be (2)

HTH

Problem with your approach is... if the user changes their email address, you have to change code?

If you have access to YouTube then you might find a video explanation useful. Have a look at my website here, http://www.niftyaccess.com/combo-box/ and find the video headed "Get Info From a Combo-box"

Hi,
I tried

=[ComboboxName].[Column](#)

but it wasn’t doing anything.

After watching the video link provided by Uncle Gizmo ‘Get Info From a Combo-box” http://www.niftyaccess.com/combo-box/, I changed the column count and the column width of my combo box, and it’s working nicely.

Thanks a lot everyone!

Regards,
