Populate a Userform from an existing Record.
 

I am making a database that will contain about 1500 records when it is
completed. I have need to go back into certain Records and make
corrections to the data. I have been able to select the record (by
searching for the Last Name) I want to change but I would like to
re-populate a userform with the existing data and then make any
necessary revisions. Then I will add the revised record back into its
original place.

I can't seem to get the info back into a userform so that my program
will run and make the changes to approprate cells. Any help would be
greatley appreciated.

I hope this is clear enough and someone with more programming knowledge
will be able to help.

You could...
Use a ListBox on the form filled with the 1500 records.
Selecting a ListBox item would add that item to a Textbox.
User would edit the Textbox and press a button which
would add the corrected text back to the database.

Populate a Userform from an existing Record.
 

Dim rng as Range, res as Variant
Dim rng1 as Range
With worksheets("Sheet1")
set rng = .Range(.Cells(2,1),.Cells(2,1).End(xldown))
End with
res = Application.Match(me.Textbox1.Text,rng,0)
if not iserror(res) then
set rng1 = rng(res)
me.Textbox2 = rng1.offset(0,1)
me.Textbox3 = rng1.offset(0,2)
Else
msgbox me.Textbox1.Text & " was not found"
End if

if you have your "index" values loaded into a combobox, then use the
combobox1.ListIndex property to find the row.

Thanks guys for the replies. This will help a lot!

Populate a Userform from an existing Record.
 

This is what I did.
My user form actually pulled data from 2 different worksheets.
You could modify it to pull from your database record


Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
Worksheets("RFI LOG").Unprotect
' Read initial values from RFI LOG:
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("RFI LOG").Activate
txtJobNum.Text = Cells(8, 3).Value
txtJobName.Text = Cells(8, 5).Value
txtContractor.Text = Cells(9, 3).Value

' Read initial values from Template:
Sheets("Template").Visible = True
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Template").Activate
txtAuthor.Text = Cells(10, 9).Value
txtSendTo.Text = Cells(11, 2).Value
txtCopyTo.Text = Cells(12, 2).Value
End Sub
