I am working on a new database for '07 and I wanted some of my fields to
prefill for accuracy.
Please, I've heard that the task is simple but I can't find how to go about
it with the resources I have (which are pretty limited!)
This is the information types I am working with:
Each of our customers has an account number and several job numbers-which
are actually just IDs for the locations of each branch of that customer.
For example, customer number 1 has branches number 1, 2, and 3.
Customer number 2 also has 3 branches.
The branches are numbered simply starting from 1 inside each customer's
account.
What I would like to accomplish is, by typing in the account number, the
customer's name automatically prefills in another field. Then I need my form
to recoginze that THIS customer has 3 branches-provide a drop down box from
which I can choose the corresponding branch. Once I choose the corresponding
branch, then the address to that branch will prefill in another field.
I know this has to be possible because I was told that this kind of task was
just barely scratching the surface of Access.
I am running 2003 and again would appreciate any information possible!
Thanks, Crissi
