March 10, 200817 yr Hello! I've searched at some length trying to find some clue as to whether or not I can even do this without a workaround, so I'm asking. My apologies if it's something that's already been covered. I'm developing, as part of a set of databases, a contact management database and a purchase order database. On the PO database, there are three address sets...Supplier, Bill To, and Ship To. On each of these, the client would like to have auto-fill functionality. The problem is that when I create a lookup that connects the PO company name to the contact company name, it auto-fills all three instead of just the one I'm filling in at the time. Is it possible to create multiple lookups that go to a single source without having all of them auto-fill when triggered and if so, how?
March 10, 200817 yr Use 3 different table occurrences for each of the Supplier, Bill To, and Ship To fields. It is the same source but a different occurrence.

March 10, 200817 yr Author John, thank you for the advice. For some reason, I'm having a hard time making this work within a single layout. Any set of fields coming from one of the new table occurrences becomes uneditable. It's there, but it gets skipped when tabbing and can't be clicked into to enter anything. I must be doing something wrong...likely something I'll kick myself for not seeing...but I can't figure out what.
March 11, 200817 yr Why don't you post a simple copy here, at least then someone, including me can check it for you?
March 11, 200817 yr Author Never mind, I figured out what I was doing wrong. Sometimes it really pays to start fresh in the morning. Thanks for the help!
