Hello,

I have a table called BookingsT, which will represent a seating plan in my office.

I have created a front end form which will display records and allow users to enter their name to update BookingsT (I dont know how to do this yet :unsure:)

However, step 1 is reflecting the current BookingsT to the form, i read online that DLOOKUP can be used. This is the formula I created for Seat1 textbox
SQL:
=DLookUp("BookingName","BookingsT","BookingSeat=2" And "BookingDate=#" & [tBookingDate] & "#")

However, the first record is always returned. In this case, Seat 2 on 30/10/2020 should return Bill Gates.

Ah! It makes sense now that you've said it. These quotes can be tricky!

Thanks for fix!
I *always* put my criteria into a string and use that. That then also allows me to Debug.Print it to make sure the syntax is correct.
