Have one fill to auto fill aother

[Kaylen]

My question is simple. I would like to have field 27 = field 25.
So when someone enters the data for field 25, the same data auto populated
in field 27. Any help is appreciated!

Kaylen,

In the CotrolSource for Field 27 type...

=[field 25]

....assuming of that you are talking about a form in Microsoft Access or did
you mean to post this question in the Excel newsgroup?

There are quite a few ways, I would go with an event proceedure (either on
change or after update) to fill in.

Example:

Private Sub Field25_AfterUpdate()

Me.Field27 = Me.Field25

End Sub

Hope that helps

Why? If you already have a value stored in [field25], why do you believe
you need to (redundantly) store the same value in [field27]?

More info, please...

I strictly interpreted your question based on the terms you used. In
Access, a "field" exists only in a table, hence my comments about storing
data.

If you are referring to having a form display data, those are called
"controls" in Access. But my question remains... if you already have it
showing in one control, what business need are you trying to satisfy by
showing it in another?
