I have a table (states) that has 3 three fields:
id
state name
abbreviation
the table consists of all the US states and there associated abbreviations.
my goal is to have two fields on a data entry form link to a table (invoices):
state
abbrv
the state field to be a combo box linked to the states table which will allow the user to select a state name from the drop down list in the combo box, and for the corresponding abbreviation to be auto-populated in the abbrv field.
and finally for the actual name/abbreviation to display on my report and the the id number that access really stores from the states table. how can i do this?
