You mean to basically increment the quantity automatically? You would
have to basically grab the relevant line item record and run an update
on that record. You can use a SQL statement for it... where does the
new quantity come from? I guess you could prompt the user for an item
and a quantity and then either update the existing record or insert a
new one...

I have a form with all the products and pictures of the products it is bound
to the product table with all the products information, i encluded a field
call qty to order to the table and form

when i pull up the products from ( a continuous from) the customer can
scroll
through and add the qty of the products they want. once they are through I
would like to have a button to confirm the order and plave the items they put
a qty on would then show up on their order form.

if you take a look at the north wind data base mine is set up the same way.

thanks for your help

if you could can you let me know step by step on how to do this.
thanks.
