Dear Experts,

I have a form containing: EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, Address, Telephone and Email (in my Ms Access database and called as a CUSTOMER table).

What should I do, if I would like to retrieve data by following action:

If I type the employee ID then click "Retrieve" button (or show button), then the rest of information will be appeared on each textfields such as FirstName, LastName, and so on.

Has anyone knows how to do this please?

I really need you helps.

Thank you for your kind helps.

Best Regards,

Rully

Hi Rully,

Welcome to InfoPathDev!
You could do it through a secondary data source and through code, using something around:

string qry = "MyValue";
ADOAdapterObject oNameTable = (ADOAdapterObject) thisXDocument.DataAdapters["tblTest"];
oNameTable.Command = string.Format("Select * from tblTest where Test = '" + qry + "'");
oNameTable.Query();

In your case, qry would be the employee ID read in a textbox.

your output values (from your secondary DOM) could be displayed with textboxes on your form.
