How to Auto-Fill Fields in Microsoft Access | Macro Tutorial

Описание: HOW DO YOU AUTOMATICALLY FILL FIELDS IN MICROSOFT ACCESS?

One way is to use an Access macro attached to a form control event. The macro can evaluate the value entered by the user and automatically populate other related controls.

In this example, when a user enters Seattle in the City field, Microsoft Access automatically:

• Fills State/Province with Washington
• Fills Country/Region with USA
• Moves the cursor to the ZIP Code field

This creates a practical example of automated data entry in a Microsoft Access form without requiring the user to repeatedly enter related information.

You'll also see how Access form events determine WHEN the macro runs, including On Enter, Before Update, After Update, and On Exit.
