October 6, 201015 yr Hi, I have: two tables, A the data file containing the records & B the options file. On Table B 1. drop down list-Companies 2. 2nd drop down with the items. The second list depends on the company chosen from first list. This works fine. I need to then have the cost of the particular item chosen automatically appear in the field for "Cost". Does anyone know how to describe how to do this? M
October 6, 201015 yr I would have a Cost field in Table B lookup the Cost of the Item using a relationship to Items by ItemID. Be sure to relate your records using IDs not text values. For example, you say that in "TableB" you have a drop down list of Companies. That doesn't sound very good, because it suggests that you are storing a company name rather than a companyID in TableB.
