I have a Dlookup macro that fills in an Item Number when a product is chosen
on a purchase order form. It works fine as long as the Item Number is only
numbers. If there is a letter or other character in the Item Number then I
get the message:

"You tried to run a Visual Basic procedure to set a property or method for
an object. However the component doesn't make the property or method
available for automation operations."

Here is the current macro:

Item: [Forms]![Open POs]![PO Items]![PO Item Number]
Expression: =DLookUp("[Item Number]","[Enter Items]","[Item]=Forms![Open
POs]![PO Items]![PO Item]")

Can anyone help?
 
DixieLee,

Sounds like your [PO Items] is a text field. Change your DLookup to...

=DLookup("[Item Number]", "[Enter Items]", "[Item]='" & Forms![Open POs]![PO
Items]![PO Item] & "'")

....and see if that resolves your issue.

Um... something is still not right. I thought it had something to do with
text fields... but when I copied your DLookup, I got "MS Office cant find
the field PO Items"

DixieLee,

Looking at the line below... What is the form name and what it the field
name? AND is the field on a subform?

=DLookup("[Item Number]", "[Enter Items]", "[Item]='" & Forms![Open POs]![PO
Items]![PO Item] & "'")

....perhaps it should be...

=DLookup("[Item Number]", "[Enter Items]", "[Item]='" & Forms![Open POs]![PO
Item] & "'")

DixieLee,

Okay then ignore the reply I just sent...

I am assuming this DLookup is on the Main form???? If yes, try...

=DLookUp("[Item Number]","[Enter Items]","[Item]='" & [PO Iterms].[Form]![PO
Item] & "'")

Are you certain that the subform control on Open POs is named PO Items?
(Depending on how you add a form as a subform, the name of the subform
control may be different than the name of the form being used as a subform)

If you are, try using

Forms![Open POs]![PO Items].Form![PO Item]

If the subform control is named something different, use that instead of PO
Items.

Does this work?
