I have a data-entry form in HTML format, however, data type formats / input
masks seem to be ignored. How can I get drop-down menus to flow-through from
underlying table properties to HTML Form?
 
What are you doing? Are creating a web access? Can you
give more input on what you are trying to accomplish?

Chris,

I'm not creating a web access. The page is being used more as a form. It
is a bill of lading and some of the product info, weights, etc. feeds in from
a product table. Then, the user adds consignee and trucker info which
updates the customer table and the user prints the bill of lading. All of
that works fine, but I need to get more uniformity in the input of consignees
and trucker names so that various reports are more concise (we have numerous
users and I keep getting different variations on the names of consignees). I
thought it was an easy fix to add drop down menus nameing the primary
consignees and truckers. So, I created the drop down menus at the table
level, but they do not follow through to the page (like they would in a
form). This was a suprise to me. Am I doing something wrong?

I could propbably re-do the page as a form, but I wasn't sure I needed to
make such a project out of this. The bill of lading has a lot of detail and
I think the orignial designer felt that a page was easier for that reason.

Thank you for any input you can provide.

Sorry, I do not use HTML format. Try reposting. What you
are trying to do works well as a form and possibly you
would need a subform

Good Luck
