    Create a lookup field


    i am new to access. I am creating a database that has one table with 4 fields labeled: Barcode, Description, Product ID and Size. I want to create a new table that when I type or scan in a barcode, fields next to it will populate with the Description, Product ID and Size automatically. How can this be done? I have attached a sample. Thanks

    First, create the new table.

    Second, build relationships between the tables or build forms to interact with data or do both.

    Third, if using forms, build combobox on form with a RowSource from table 1.

    This is all basic Access functionality and Access has guidelines and tutorials are available on web and books from stores.
