In a Form.....

How can I do it so that when someone chooses an option from a "combo box", a value associated with it automatically comes up in the next field.

For example:

Field1(Combo Box,2 columns) Field2
option1-data1
option2-data2
option3-data3

so let's say someone chooses "option1", now "data1" should pop up in Field2. Get it?

Thanks in advance!
 
Put this code behind the afterupdate event on field1

field2= field1.Column(1)

Stickarm... Do I first need to create a macro for this?

I'm getting this error "Microsoft Access can't find the macro 'WorkerID=WorkerName.'

This is what I entered in the AfterUpdate event:
WorkerID= WorkerName.Column(1)
 
IS your combo box named WorkerName and is your text box named WorkerID? If so, when you click on afterupdate event select the (...) at the end of the line, then select "code builder", then under "Private Sub WorkerName_AfterUpdate()" input the text:

WorkerID= WorkerName.Column(1)

Let me know if this explains it better.
