I have a button on a form with a DLookup that checks the value in a text box against the value of a field in a static table. It gives you a message box that tells you whether the value is correct or not.

I would like to have the same button kick off a macro that would record the data from the text box into a table as well. I wrote the append query that will record the value into a table, but can't figure out how to make the button do both things with only 1 click.

Is that possible?

Thanks,
David
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Assuming that the DLOOKUP is already in the Click event of the button, you could add this line to the code:
DoCmd.RunMacro "YourMacroNameHere"
