Access Lookup (Unbound) field in Form

[adams77]

I am receiving an error #Name? on a Form when trying to do a lookup from a customerid (perno) field.
I would like to enter a CustomerID on a form, the results after entering the CustomerID would pull the FName & LName from the tblSeniority. However, I am receiving an error. I have inserted 2 unbound text boxes on the form. I have placed the code in the Control Source: =DLookUp("FName",[tblSeniority],"Perno" & [Forms]![frmPending]![txtPerno] & "").

I am using MS Access 2010

Can you take a look at this and give me some direction.

Should I not put it in the control source and do son VBA?

Thank you in advance for all your help!

For starters, the table argument must also be in quotes. You also need an equals sign:

And be sure to note the different syntax, based on whether the field Perno is Text or a Number.

The link doesn't make that clear enough?

Never know. I just went through interaction with a poster where they had explicit example for code and still messed it up.

So wait and see if that happens. Why repeat what's already been said if the OP hasn't responded that they're having trouble with it?

Thank you for giving me direction to the code! It worked just like i was hoping it would! Thanks again for all you do!
