Looking up Fields and auto enter them

[tmas73]

Hi there

I need some guidance in field lookups and auto fill.

I have a passenger layout that has different frequent flier miles and password in it. in a different layout I have a name field that should display the name of the pasenger a option to choose flier miles and then after it was chosen it should automatically fill in the password in the password field. Please have a look at the file. Thanks a lot!

Ok I made some small progress I got the info from one layout to the other. If you look at the new file it shows a example but the 2nd row will not enter the info from the other field. Any help please?

Thomas,

I believe that there were some serious design flaws in your sample. I made a sample file of what I thought would be a good starting point for you. Take a look at it and dissect it for your own learning tool.

Good luck.

Hi Mr. vodka

I was looking through your file for the last few hours and I try to replicate it. I ran into a error. I do wonder if there is a way that in "flight_info" that when you choose a different airline the ff miles, password and miles automatically update to the specific airline chosen.

Thanks

Why would a flight ever change its airline?

Maybe I did not explain to well. Now if I choose the airline the passengers have a different miles number. See image.

Thanks for your help!

I think that each flight should have its own set of passengers and basically in layman's terms make a "copy" of what is in the ff table for that particular customer at that time.

I do not think that this should be a reference but rather a stored value.

Again, my question to you is: Why would you change an airline??? The flight number for a particular airline should be set PRIOR to any passengers being placed on board. After you select the airline, and put passengers on there, you shouldnt be changing the company name.
