So I have run into a small problem with my forms. I have combo boxes for customer addresses and shipping company for their order. After I select a customer the shipping address combo box updates to show only address under the customerID, however when I select an address it doesn’t update the record in the table. Also whatever I select is the default address for the next customer even if it isn’t one of the customers address.

I have a similar problem with the shipping company I want the default to be blank until I select it however if I do select a shipping company it makes it the default for all the orders when I open the form, yet it doesn’t save except for the first entry. I think whatever fixes one problem should be able to work on the other, any ideas?
 
This sounds as though you haven't worked on your normalisation.

How is the data stored, in multiple tables or just 1?

What relationships do you have.

Can you upload an extract of the database and take out any confidencial information, it would be useful to upload a 2003 version.

Yeah that is likely the problem,

The address information is stored in it's own table which has a one to many relationship to the Quote table and the Shipping company is a lookup from a table which should be stored in the Quote table as well. The Shipping company table has a one to many relationship to Quote table.

It seems that for the shipping address it does record the address, however when looking at form the form it doesn't show the currently selected address.

I would love to give you a 2003 copy of my database, however I made it in the 2010 ver and I don't know how to convert it for you.
 
Go to the File Tab (Backstage) and Save Publish you can save as 2003 version there.
 
It will not let me, I am afraid that because of some of the features my database uses it is not backwards compatible. I am sorry, I really could use your help. Maybe I can take some screen shots for you if you tell me what you need to see.

Zip it up and upload it to the forum, I can then take a look. The database must be less than 2mg.
 
Trevor I hope you are able to use that, I am going to be out of town until August 1st so please do not be offended if I to not reply until then. I am sad to say I still have not been able to fix this problem by myself.
