Hi Everyone
this is a screenshot of part of my customer table. It shows 4 fields - although only three are key.
There are two tables: Customer and Employee. I have added a dropdown control which looks at the Employee table and the Full Name field. . I would like two things to happen.
When a new customer is created, the user will pick a name from the list (highlighted yellow) and then the relevant information will be pulled in to the two other fields (highlighted with a red cross)
However, I can not get over the first hurdle!
When I add a new record, and choose the relevant data from the dropdown, the record does not save and reverts to (I think) the first option!
I have added the following to the Update property: DropDown1.Selected.'Full Name'
If you can help in any way to solve this issue.
thank you
First, check what is actually being stored in your datasource after you submit the record. Is there a correct value there?
Second, is this a Combobox or a dropdown control? If combobox, what is the DefaultSelectedItems property? If a dropdown, what is the Default property?
And finally, what is the Items property of that control?
