asked on Displaying Name in Text box
I have a form in a database that I want the name of the user display in a text box when that user inputs their Person_Nbr and select a Month/year date. The source of the names are in the NAME field of the ppm table. Example when the user inputs 11111 as Person_Nbr the name that should display should be Melanie Davies in the Text box. Attached is the Database. Can you please help me accomplish this goal. I have tried different methods but I could not still get it to work. Thanks

you can try this,
Private Sub txtPerson_AfterUpdate()
Dim strsql
strsql = "Select * from ppm where person_nbr = " & Me.txtPerson
Me.RecordSource = strsql
End Sub
Private Sub txtPerson_AfterUpdate()
Dim strsql
strsql = "Select * from ppm where person_nbr = " & Me.txtPerson
Me.RecordSource = strsql
End Sub

Where on the form should I put this code
first remove the Control source of the textbox, then use this codes
Private Sub txtPerson_AfterUpdate()
Me.Text18 = DLookup("[name]", "ppm", "person_nbr = " & Me.txtPerson)
End Sub
Private Sub txtPerson_AfterUpdate()
Me.Text18 = DLookup("[name]", "ppm", "person_nbr = " & Me.txtPerson)
End Sub

It works great. Is it possible to flip the Last Name, First name around and for it to display it as
Payroll Payment for "FirstName LastName"
Payroll Payment for "FirstName LastName"
