I'm drawing a blank on how to accomplish the following:

Table A contains two fields, call them customer & job number. Each customer can have multiple job numbers, so the data looks like something like this:

Acme 12345

Acme 12346

Acme 12347

Beta Inc 88899

Beta Inc 88900

Table B contains more information about a given job, and there can be multiple records in Table B for any given client and job number set. I'd like to set the main layout in Table B to have a pop-up menu for the user to select a client, and a pop-up menu for the user to select the job number. I'd like the job number pop-up menu to display only job numbers applicable to the chosen client. So if the user selected "Beta Inc" as the client, the only job numbers shown in the pop-up menu for job number would be 88899 and 88900. If no client was selected, there would be no job numbers available to be selected. I know there's a way to do this, but I'm having a brain fart and haven't been able to remember how. Thanks in advance!

I would make Table A fields CustomerID and Customer Name.

Table B fields would be JobNumber and CustomerID.

I would put a portal in A that shows all related jobs by CustomerID. A button in that portal would trake you to the selected record in B.
