    Comparison Feature Help

    Hey everyone.



    I'm making a program for work, and one of the functionalities we would like to add is a comparison button. We have about 30 products, each of which has around 200 different measurements taken and documented into a table. What we would like to do is be able to pick one of those measurements, say overall length, and print out a report that then shows the overall length of each of the 30 products. This way we can print a report that can be used to compare any of the measurements accross every cooler to look for trends. Right now I am trying to use a series of combo boxes to accomplish this, but cant quite get it to work.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    What is the structure of the underlying table(s)?...
    Are there 200 fields, each for a measurement, or one field for the measurement and one field for MeasurementType, or what?

    There are 200 fields for 200 measurements in the table. So there is a column for say overall height, one for overall width, one for overall thickness ect.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
