[RESOLVED] How to autocomplete TextBoxs? (using ADODB and Access) [VB6]

Hi people, I'm new here and you've already solved a doubt of mine once. Now I'm raising another question, and it's just like the tittle says:

How should I do to make an autocomplete when I write a number in a TextBox and another TextBox get filled with the correct data from the Table which I'm calling from?

An image to explain a bit my case:

Attachment 128371

As you can see in the screenshot, I wrote the numer "1" in the first TextBox, then I had to write "Martillo" in the next TextBox... Now I want that that TextBox to get filled automatically with "Martillo" so I don't have to write it again...

Hope you understand my way to speak, I'm not so good in english... Thanks!!!

Regards!:wave:

Just call the recordset
-----------------------------
put this code in textbox1_change event

--------------------------------------------------------
dim getnames as recordset
set getnames=c.openrecordset("select <namefield from <tablename> where <idfield>=' " & textbox1.text & " ' ")
if getnames.recordcount>0 then
textbox2.text=getnames!namefiled
else
textbox2.text="No Data"
endif

Ok, I understood what you said so I did this:

Code:

---

Dim conexion As New ADODB.Connection
Dim getnames As New ADODB.Recordset

Private Sub Text2_Change()

Set getnames = New ADODB.Recordset
If Not Text2.Text = "" Then
getnames.Open "SELECT Herramienta FROM Herramientas WHERE idHerramienta=" & Text2.Text & "", conexion, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
    If getnames.RecordCount > 0 Then
    Text3.Text = getnames!Herramienta
    Else
    Text3.Text = "No Data"
    End If
End If
End Sub
