    Need Help with Access vb coding

    Hey guys,



    I have a combo box which is lists all my Products from another table, "Products", it just lists the names but i want it to when i select one, to take the value "weight" from that one record and put the weight in my textbox beside the product name, i need this as it will help calculate freight and etc..

    this is a general idea of what ive been trying so far, ive tried using queries, reports... i just cant get it...

    here is the code im trying..

    Combo874 being where product names are listed and Text1144 being where i want the weight to go. the weight from prooducts form is just a number no kgs or tonne after it


    Private Sub Combo874_AfterUpdate()
    Dim p1 As String 'p1 as i have 4 product boxes and hence w1
    Dim w1 As Integer

    Me.Text = p1
    Query Form_Products.[Product Name].Value
    If Form_Products.[Product Name].Value = p1 Then
    Query Form_Products.Weight = w1
    Text1144.Value = w1
    End If

    End Sub


    Please guys you help would be much appreciated!! Thanks!!

    The weight field could be included in the RowSource of the Combo874 cbo and need not be visible. Then the AfterUpdate event would just be:
    Code:
    Private Sub Combo874_AfterUpdate()
       Me.Text1144 = Me.Combo874.Column(1)
    End Sub
    The Column() value is zero base4d so 1 would be the 2nd column

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
