Hi I have a problem which I really need resolved however I don't know if this is technologically feasable and its very hard to explain so I'll try my best

I have two tables one called CustomerDatabase and CargoDatabase, the customerID attribute in CustomerDatabase is the primary key and its also specified to have no duplicates, it is linked to the cargo database in a one to many relationship

I have created a data entry form with all the sources of the attributes of the CustomerDatabase and CargoDatabase however I am aware of the no duplicates policy so this is what I want done.

For Example say there is in the CustomerDatabase and I have already stored a record these fields CustomerID: 123456 Name: Robert Smith Address: 11 Newpark Avenue

I would like this data entry form to exist in my program however this is what I want done, I would like when the customer ID is entered say 123456 I want Robert Smith to appear in the Name field of the data entry form and the address however I want to ensure that only the data entered onto the CargoDatabase is entered such as CargoID, CustomerID and all the others I don't want any of the attributes of the CustomerDatabase to be entered, I'm sorry that may seem like a mouthful, but I really need this help and I would greatly appreciate some to see if its able to be done

I know what your saying why does he want data input on a data entry form when its already there and it isn't going to be input into the system, I just want it to show so who the customer is so when I type the number it comes up, thank you.

Thanks Ted.
 
Does anyone know how to help me, am I not talking properly or anything, I'm more of a veteran at Excel so is Excel terms I need a really big VLOOKUP table.
 
Hi, I don't mean to be rude but that hasn't helped me at all! Article? Sorry I don't have a clue what you are talking about as you can probably tell I'm new!
 
Type the number into the help file Find box, the article should be listed
 
Sorry I don't have the Northwind file on my computer I have Access 2002
 
It's available from the Microsoft download centre, I don't have the link
