Solved: Word Userform Combobox to get two columns from Access Database

[rbrewington]

I've got another issue in the project I'm working on for a medical note template. I would like to have a userform that uses comboboxes to allow a user to choose selections that are listed in an access database. I've got this going right now and there are other complexities that I have worked out right now with a single column setup. So, I basically need several things for this to work properly.

1. I need to know how to add data from a second access field from the same record (they are already in the access database and paired up properly.

2. I need to continue to allow the userform to get the prior data from the original document and use that as a default (works now with single column setup but I'm afraid it might not if I change to two columns). Of note, the second column only needs to be visible once the data is placed in the document itself and is not really needed in the combobox for selecting.

3. Finally, the format I would prefer is:
FIRSTCOLUMNDATA (SECONDCOLUMNDATA)


Anyway, here is the code I'm using right now (sorry if it's clunky and messy, but so far it's working for me with one column:



Option Explicit
'Define Variables
Dim dbDatabase As Database
Dim rsAxisI As Recordset
Dim i As Integer
Dim aResults()
Dim currentdx As String

Private Sub cmbExecute_Click()

' This code is supposed to add the current text from each
' of the axis I diagnosis comboboxes to the appropriate
' text fields in the the document.

ActiveDocument.FormFields("AxisOne01").Result = AxisI01.Text
ActiveDocument.FormFields("AxisOne02").Result = AxisI02.Text
ActiveDocument.FormFields("AxisOne03").Result = AxisI03.Text
ActiveDocument.FormFields("AxisOne04").Result = AxisI04.Text
ActiveDocument.FormFields("AxisOne05").Result = AxisI05.Text

End If

I ended up just combining the two columns in excel to make it easier and then edited the database and just entered them both into one field. Would have been nice to have both columns, but I couldn't find anything about doing that with a combobox and getting the kind of formatting I needed. So, sort of solved for now.
