hi all can someone please help,

i am using the above template. I have created a unit cost field in the
products table i just need to know how i can get access to automaticlly enter
this cost into the inventry transactions table when i select the product
required.

ie: the product has a standard cost and wont change

many thanks in advanced

Click to expand...

The easiest way is to do something like this:

txtUnitCost = DLookup("UnitCost", "Products", _
"ProductID = """ & txtProductCode & """")

where txtUnitCost is the textbox control on your (inventry transactions)
form and txtProductCode is the textbox containing the productID you are
adding.

You would need to put this in a suitable event: either use the same event
that adds the product to the transaction (presumably some kind of
Button_Click), or before the transaction record is saved
(Form_BeforeUpdate), etc etc.

Hope that helps
