Combo box choice outcome

I have a combo box with the following choices:

Checks_Walkthrough
Checks_Monitor
Research_Case
Inventory_Maint
Task_Cable
Task_Misc
New Issue

What I want is if anything BUT "New issue" is selected, two fields in the same form as the combo box are populated by other data in the table the above list is pulled from. I can get this to happen by itself.

Me.Text27.Value = Me.imac.Column(2)
Me.model.Value = Me.imac.Column(3)

If "New Issue" is selected, I want another form 'New_case' to open and enter the required data there. I can get this to work alone also with a DoCmd open form line of code.

I just cannot figure out how to code it all under the after update event. Is this beyond the ability of Access 2007?

More likely it's beyond my minimal but still expanding Access knowledge.

Thanks for any help.
Joe

Hello Joe!

Refine the following code to make it work for you:
If Me.imac.Column(2) = "New Issue" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm .........
Else
Me.Text27.Value = Me.imac.Column(2)
Me.model.Value = Me.imac.Column(3)
End If

Put the code in the AfterUpdate event of the combobox.
