DLookUp - Not pulling string from textbox on same form

56 Views Asked by At

Here is my string: DLookUp("[ExamSiteEmail]","[tblExamSite]","[ExamSite]='" & "txtExamSite" & "'")

Problem: It is not pulling the string info from the combobox txtExamSite.

The problem I believe lies with how I am referencing the combobox txtExamSite. If I replace txtExamSite with a phrase/string that matches within the table it responds correctly with information listed in field ExamSiteEmail, as it should. This Dlookup string is being used for the default value of a textbox on the same form as the combobox txtExamSite.

How do I solve this issue?

Update: I changed the string to: =DLookUp("[ExamSiteEmail]","[tblExamSite]","[ExamSiteID]= " & [txtExamSite]). Even though the combobox shows a string, the dlookup was pulling a value. Is this the proper syntax? It seems to work but doesn't mean it right. Thank you.
