Data field in a text box.

[emine]

Very simple question. I simply want to display a data field from and Access application in a text box. I have tried every command I know, and just cant seem to make it work.
I have tried:
text1=unitprice
and
unitprice.show
among other failed attempts.
Please help me before I use this laptop like a frisby.

I'm no pro but I think I can help.

What you need to do is put a data control on your form. from there, go to the properties, go to DatabaseName and find your database. then select the record set. from there, you can create a text box. In the textbox properties select the datasource from your database. That should be it. good luck.

I had already tried that, I have the information in my application. I simply used the DB Wizzard and that works great. I had allready created the DB with Access. But now I need to pick it apart and I cant figure out how. If I can display a scecific field then I can manulate it. That is my problem.

sorry, misunderstood your dilemma. I thought you had trouble displaying the info. How do you want to 'pick it apart' exactly?
