I have a main form which is linked through a [PackageID] field to a subform. i wast to use the same form for both shipments in and out. the subform has a list of serial numbers add for each [package id].
On the main form i have addresses ect and then a combo box onthe [PackageID] field which brings up all the serial numbers that came in, in that package.
This is perfect for sending a large container back out unopened, however there are times when the database will need to 'pick and choose' serial no.s from several packages. To do this i made the [SerialNo] field on the subform a combo box - looking up all the serial no.s in stock - however when a serial no is selected it doesn't update the other 15 fields in the subform.
Any sugestions? Got a feeling thats its quite an easy thing to do but its beaten me!
Many thanks
