Chad- Why use the Change event? That fires with each character typed in Job_ID. Consider using AfterUpdate instead. Where is the Client_ID value - in another form? If so, the syntax should be more like:
Me.Client_ID = Forms!frmCustomers!Client_ID John Viescas, author "Building Microsoft Access Applications" "Microsoft Office Access 2003 Inside Out" "Running Microsoft Access 2000" "SQL Queries for Mere Mortals" http://www.viescas.com/ -----Original Message----- From: ms_access@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of chadcbc Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 6:36 PM To: ms_access@yahoogroups.com Subject: [ms_access] auto enter value I am trying to have a form automatically enter the Client_ID into the jobs form when a new job is created under a certain customer, the code below is how I set it up to do so, but it has not worked. Any clue how to fix this issue? Private Sub Job_ID_Change() Jobs.Client_ID = Customers.Client_ID End Sub Thanks ~Chad PS Thanks John on the tip of calculating in a table, I re-arranged my data to fit the preferred method. ------------------------ Yahoo!
