    Populating a field based on 2 other fields

    I am a novice at Access and I have built a maintenance database. I have a Repair Record table and a Equipment id table.
    I have placed a sub form for the Repair Record Table on the main form. When a service to a piece of equipment is completed the mechanic
    will enter that in the Repair Record sub form. When he enters the word "service" in the Parts No. field and the Mileage in the Hours/Mileage field
    I would like for that number to show in the Truck Last Serviced field. So the word service in one field would key the mileage in another field to be shown in
    a field on a different table. Any help with this is appreciated.

    this could also be a subform, the query for this will pull DMax(serviceDate) and 'service' to show last service date.
    set it to readonly so user cannot change it.

    So, the green bit will be a subform with its record source getting info from the Repair Record Table. A couple of queries: first one to get the max date, the second one to use the first query and then to get the service type. In the AfterUpdate event of the lower subform have an Event Procedure which says: Forms!main form name!top subform name.Requery - this means waiting until the entire row has been entered before the top info is updated, but easier this way.

    Great sorry it took so long with Christmas and all. I got that part working THANK YOU!
    Now when I create my report based on the query for max date, I get all the trucks and services. How can I only get the latest ones done per truck to show on the report?
    I have tried the no duplicates in properties but that don't work.

    Get the query working before trying to create a report, with the data exactly as you want to see it.

    The query is working perfect. I generate the report to show what trucks are due a service based on mileage. When I create the report from the query it shows me each time the truck has been serviced.

    If the query it working perfectly, then why isn't the report also perfect? Doesn't make sense.

    Here is a screen shot of the query and report. On the report I should have 1 line that shows the info for the last service. I had that before I used this query to make my report. I'm stumped!

    It looks as though the report and the query are producing the same results. Is that the case, if you run the query does it look like the report above?

    Loop back to post #6 - get the query working the way you want to see the data.
