Access Dlookup Examples

Sign up Ms access dlookup function error up vote 0 down vote favorite A small question but this is irritating me from 3 hours i tried to use the Dlookup Function in ms access. I have two subforms in main form in and i tried to get some values from the 1st sub form to the second sub form This gave me a #error but i gave a correct syntax. I just checked it with a small input and what ever i gave in the form whether it may be a small dlookup command also its giving me the same error. Confused about whats happening in the forms and please look at the sample dllok up syntax i gave in my forms. =DLookUp("Fertigungsmenge";"Porduction Table";"Fertigungsmenge=200000") This small command is also giving me a #error i want to know the exact syntax we use for forms in ms access. thanks in advance. ms-access ms-access-2010 ms-access-2013 share|improve this question asked Oct 20 '14 at 11:51 user3379433 1711 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote Table names, Field names that have special characters - yes that includes Spaces; should be enclosed in square brackets. So try. = DLookUp("Fertigungsmenge";"[Porduction Table]";"Fertigungsmenge = 200000") Also, the DLookup will fail if there is no value found for the criteria. It will return a Null instead. So it would be best you wrap the DLookup with a Nz() function. Finally, the separator normally is a comma (',') a very

I've tried this - =DLookup("[applicationName]", "tblApplications","[applicationId] = [tblApplicationsManagement]![application]") And all I get is #Error on the initial Form entry and everything comes up blank. edit - the http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35437160/ms-access-dlookup-error-or-name-value following returns #Name? on all entries =DLookUp("[applicationName]","tblApplications","application=" & [applicationId]) To make sure I'm capturing all the right info. I'm trying to populate a Plain Text field with the [applicationName] from the foreign key. the Text Field name is fieldApplicationName NOTE for any viewers - The solution is correct. The issue was on the SQL side having a column called "application" which isn't specified as a keyword but it must be somewhere either on the SQL or MS Access side. ms-access ms-access-2007 share|improve this question edited Feb 18 at 17:05 asked Feb 16 at 15:57 whoisearth 984931 1 Get a test version of DLookUp() working without all the variables. Then work from that to your goal. Also: Make an ordinary query that does what you want; then convert that by steps into a DLookup() statement. Also: Use Debug.print and breakpoints to make sure you are getting values from the form fields. The last part of your DLookUp() looks like it has problems. –Smandoli Feb 16 at 16:01 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted If your form includes a text box named txtApplication which is bound to the tblApplicationsManagement.application field in your form's Record Source, this should work as the Con

I must be missing some fundamental concept. I'm attempting to use the DLookup function as an expression in a textbox in a form. I have been placing the following text into the "Control Source" field of the text ms access 2007 box. Code: =DLookUp("[Status]","Ghost","[Subpoena ID] =" & Forms![Ghost2]!Combo) Ghost is the name of the table. Status is the name of the results column on the Ghost table. Subpoena ID is the name of the value column on the Ghost table. Ghost2 is the name of the form. Combo is the name of the dropdown box on the Ghost2 form. So I basically want the textbox to look up the adjacent column ("Status") of the "Subpoena ID" in the dropdown menu (combo). I am consistently getting a #Error message. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

companies, you will have a Company table that contains all the company's details including a CompanyID field, and a Contract table that stores just the CompanyID to look up those details. Sometimes you can base your form or report on a query that contains all the additional tables. Other times, DLookup() will be a life-saver. DLookup() expects you to give it three things inside the brackets. Think of them as: Look up the _____ field, from the _____ table, where the record is _____ Each of these must go in quotes, separated by commas. You must also use square brackets around the table or field names if the names contain odd characters (spaces, #, etc) or start with a number. This is probably easiest to follow with some examples: you have a CompanyID such as 874, and want to print the company name on a report; you have Category such as "C", and need to show what this category means. you have StudentID such as "JoneFr", and need the student?s full name on a form. Example 1: Look up the CompanyName field from table Company, where CompanyID = 874. This translates to: =DLookup("CompanyName", "Company", "CompanyID = 874") You don't want Company 874 printed for every record! Use an ampersand (&) to concatenate the current value in the CompanyID field of your report to the "Company = " criteria: =DLookup("CompanyName", "Company", "CompanyID = " & [CompanyID]) If the CompanyID is null (as it might be at a new record), the 3rd agumenent will be incomplete, so the entire expression yields #Error. To avoid that use Nz() to supply a value for when the field is null: =DLookup("CompanyName", "Company", "CompanyID = " & Nz([CompanyID],0)) Example 2: The example above is correct if CompanyID is a number. But if the field is text, Access expects quote marks around it. In our second example, we look up the CategoryName field in table Cat, where Category = 'C'. This means the DLookup becomes: =DLookup("CategoryName", "Cat", "Category = 'C'") Single quotes within the double quotes is one way to do quotes within quotes. But again, we don't want Categoy 'C' for all records: we need the current value from our Category field patched into the quote. To do this, we close the quotation after the first single quote, add the contents of Category, and then add the trailing single quote. This becomes: =DLookup("CategoryName", "Cat",
