Hello Everyone
I have a main table tblJOBS. In this table I have the fields ‘F_Loc’ (Lookup), ‘Gender’ (Text) and ‘Facility’ (Text).
The ‘F_Loc’ field lookup table is called ‘tblLK_Location ’. The tblLK_Location table has four (Text) fields as follows:
Location – This could be Laundry, Office, Library or Room Number etc.
Info – Provides brief help for the data imputer,
Gender – Only has ‘Male’, ‘Female’, ‘Male & Female’
Facility – Only has ‘Shower’, ‘Toilet’, ‘Bathroom’.
Where a room number has been recorded in the Location field, the attributes of that room are pre-recorded in the 3rd and 4th fields of the lookup table i.e.
LOCATION ‘RM123’, INFO “”, GENDER ‘Male’, FACILITY ‘Toilet’
LOCATION ‘Electrical’, INFO Select for E’ Workshop or E’ Room, GENDER “” FACILITY “”
LOCATION ‘RM234’, INFO “” GENDER ‘Female’, FACILITY ‘Shower’
I have an input form frmINPUT_JOBS; a ‘Single Form’. The record source is tblJOBS. So on my form I have ‘F_Loc’ with a drop down selection list. I present the first two fields to the imputer i.e. Location and Info. I have ‘Gender’ and ‘Facility’ fields on my main form from tblJOBS. When the data imputer selects ‘RM123’ from the ‘F_Loc’ drop down selection, I would like ‘Male’ to be automatically entered into the ‘Gender’ field and ‘Toilet’ to be automatically entered into the ‘Facility’ field.
REASON: Once tblJOBS becomes populated, these ‘F’ (Find) fields provide search criterion for recorded jobs. I want to make the data imputer’s work easier by automating these search tag entries enabling only one selection to be made. I am confident it requires VLookup but I have had no success with the WHERE part. I am using MS Access Office 2003. I would like to express my gratitude in advance to anyone who is able to assist me.
