Auto Populate

[Dhoang25]

Hello,

I have two tables 1) tbl_Master and 2) tbl_Issue_Codes - this table has two fields: Issue_code and Issue_type.

I want to create a form from the Master table where I select the Issue Code it will auto populate the Issue type using the reference in "Issue_Code" table. Please help! Thanks!

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!

=DLookUp("[Issue_type]","tbl - Issue_Codes","[Issue_ID]=" & [Form]![tbl - Master Table]![Issue_ID])

This is the code that I used but it gave me an error stating "#Name?"...Not sure what this means!

That usually means it can't find the table or field. Since your table name has spaces, wouldn't it need to be surrounded by square brackets?
