Rotorian Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 I have two fields with drop down lists. The lists come from a related database. Field 1 = Card Name Field 2 = Card Number. In the related database there are two colums, Colum A Card Name has a corresponding Colum B with Card Number. What i want is on the record entry database, when user chooses Card Name from the drop downlist, for corresponding Card Number to be auto entered from Colum B in the related Database. Is it possible?
transpower Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Relate Card Name in the record entry database to Card Name in the related database. Then make an auto entry calculation for card number in the record entry database = RelatedDatabase::card number (substitute your actual name for RelatedDatabase). Even simpler: just put the card number field from the related database directly on the layout of your record entry database.
