I am new to VB world and developing an application which has to identify a person using their fingerprint, and i have to autopopulate the textboxes from the database depending upon who has logged in (the returned fingerprint ID from a scanner). That is, once the userid has been obtained from a reader then autopopulating the textbox fields i.e. family name, address, birthday, etc. Your post looks similar to what i need, except it gives me an "object expected" error on DAO.Datebase can you pl. explain the procedure in detail, or perhaps give some sample code to understand it.

Hey copan,

I'm not sure if it's applicable in this particular case, but can you use a DLookup?
