Fill one control based on content of second control/Retrieve records with combobox

[Marks]

Hi there I'm trying to do two things using Access 2000 hopefully someone can help me with it.

1. Using Access Forms if i enter a number in a textboxfield (Named "A") that in another textbox field it will automatically load for example a piece of text which says BETA in field (Named "B")

2. Using Access Forms, What VB Code could I use that will load the first colum of a table (The Primary Key for this example) in a drop down menu, when I click on it it will load up the record with other information on it. Instead of using the (Next, Previous and Find) Buttons.

Hopefully this makes sense.

[CODE=vb]Private Sub A_AfterUpdate()
Select Case A
Case 1
Me.B = "Alpha"

Case 2
Me.B = "Beta"

End Select

End Sub
[/CODE]

Add a combo box to your form. The Combobox Wizard will pop up

Select "Find a record based on the value I selected in my combobox."

From the query/table the form is based on, click on the field you're searching by (your PK field) to move it to the right side.

Hit Next.

Size the column appropriately.

Hit Next.

Name the combobox.

Hit Finish.

Now you can drop the combobox down and scroll down to the item to search by, or you can start to enter the item, and the combobox will "autofill" as you type. Hit <Enter> and the record will be retrieved.
