doing an order form here, and i want to be able to select a game in the combo box, and display the price from the same record/table in the text box below it. thank you very much for any help :)
 
thanks for the reply. i seem not be able to replicate your sample, i will quickly tell you what i did.

i created a I have a combo box called Combo38 that references a query called Order. Order has 2 columns, 1 for Title, second one is for Price. i have Combo38 displaying the Title from that query, and wish for a text box to display the second column, the price.

for the combo38, i have Row Source: Order
for the text box i have entered = combo38.column(2) and it just is empty, the combo works but nothing shows in the text box :( thanks again in advance
 
Pasting the following code into the Combobox's AfterUpdate Event should work.

Code:
Me.TextBox = Me.Combo38.Column(1)

The Whole thing should read something like this:

Code:
Private Sub  Combo38_AfterUpdate()

Me.TextBox = Me.Combo38.Column(1)

End Sub

Where I used 'TextBox' you should put the name of your textbox. Remember, the first Column in your combo box is Column(0)
 
The second column of your combo is actually Column 1, so it's
= [combo38].[column](1) as the control source for your textbox
 
ok, thank you that worked. now, with that combo box we spoke of, combo38, when i select an item from it, i would like it to enter that into the Title Field for that record on a table called Customer Orders

edit: thanks, i got it now :)
