    Populate field boxes

    In Access, I want to autopopulate the first name last name and department when I scan the Employee ID. Does anyone know how to do that?



    Thanks, Brian

    You want to autopopulate unbound textboxes just to display the related info?

    One way is to scan into a multi-column combobox. The columns would have the ID, names, and deptartment info. Then the textboxes can have expression that references the appropriate column of combobox.
