standard bill of products problem

[justdippin]

hello everyone,

anyone knows the solution for this problem:

table product witrh product_id, product_name and product_prize

table bill, with Billing_ID, Billing_date, product_ID

in the layout of bill (it's planned for making bills)

i wanna choose a product, for that i use a list. The problem is only the product_id can be chosen. But i only want the product name to be choosen. The costumer don't have to know the product_id but only the produduct_name.

how can i solve this?

thx in advance

Here's a revised file. I hope this is what you wanted.

I reversed the order of your relationship and allowed new records to be created. Also, made changes to your value list.

Hope this helps.

hello thx for your time and help.

But im wondering what extra options i have right now. The output looks the same.

I see 2 differences

1- The value list looks better this way

2- The relationship, u have marked the option: insert record through relationsship.

But im wondering if the second change was really needed, didn't my first version of bill do the same thing? I could make new record without marking that option. asnd the relationship was made because of the valuelist input.

What am i missing?
