    Help!! Access Database


    Someone please help!
    I am attempting to create a database that will automatically place information
    in [form] fields(2)and(3) based on a what a user selects from a pulldown
    menu in field (1).
    {Field one looks up the aforementioned data in a different table, named(t)
    }
    I don't want the user to input any info in fields (2) or (3)
    I've tried everything! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    Marty,

    Have you tried using the "On Change" event coupled with VBA? The "ON CHANGE"
    can be used to detect a change to the drop down list and fire off some VBA
    code. The VBA would create a DAO object to read the "other" table to populate
    the 2 other form fields.
