Getting Data Field From Data Source Conditionally

Legacy Poster

I've gone through the help and searched this site but I cannot how to do something that I must be overlooking.

Let's say I have a Data Source with 2 fields per record, dbfield1 and dbfield2.
On my label I have 2 text fields, txtfield1 and txtfield2.

I would like the user to enter the 1st text field into Bartender and that would populate txtfield1 and then look up in the data source for a match against dbfield1 and then populate dbfield2 into txtfield2 automatically.

There must be some way to do this but I'm coming up empty. Is it all with VBScripting?

Thanks

  It sounds like you need to connect your label to a database and configure a query in order to find the precise record you want for printing. All fields from a record have the opportunity to be linked into a label object.
  
  I suggest you take a look at the training videos that cover this topic on our website:

  Looks like I had to create a query with a query prompt as you said.
  
  They query prompt comes up first for the input and then the other 'data screen' inputs come after that. I was expecting them to be on one page, but this works.
  
  Got it working now, thank you very much.
