How to Auto-Fill Fields in Microsoft Access | Macro Tutorial
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. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: • How to auto-fill fields in Microsoft Access • How to automatically populate multiple fields • How to create a Microsoft Access macro • How to use macros with Access forms • How Microsoft Access form events work • How to use the After Update event • How to create conditional If statements in Macro Builder • How to use the SetValue macro action • How to automatically set form control values • How to use GoToControl • How to move the cursor to another field automatically • How to reduce repetitive data entry in Access forms • How to test an Access macro ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Auto-Fill Fields with Microsoft Access Macros 00:40 Understanding Access Form Events 01:15 SetValue & GoToControl Macro Actions 01:42 Open the Form in Design View 02:14 Property Sheet & Macro Builder 02:56 Create an If Statement 03:49 Auto-Fill the State/Province Field 04:54 Auto-Fill the Country/Region Field 05:19 Move to the ZIP Code Field Automatically 05:36 Test the Access Macro 🎓 WANT TO LEARN MORE ACCESS SQL + VBA?
