    Auto Populate


    I have a database that I'm using for our inventory. I want to be able to autopopulate several fields when I select the computer model. I also want the division field to be autopopulated when I select the branch.

    Thanks in advance.

    That is what queries with Joins are for.

    When you join two tables that have a relationship, then you can treat each field as if it is in the same table and they automatically populate. Do your tables have their relationships defined yet? Are you using PrimaryKeys (AutoNumbers hopefully) and ForeignKeys (Long Integers hopefully)?

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