Auto-populate a couple combo boxes from previous record?

[snipe]

Hey guys,

One of the data entry jobs that my clericals have is to input our "DreamRoom" cards. These cards have the usual info:name, address, etc. Each salesperson turns in 5-30 each day. Up until now, we haven't tracked the salesperson or store with the customers info, so this wasn't an issue. I have redesigned the form. Here's a snip (obviously its a working title):

The 2 fields in the header (store, salesperson) I want to stay the same, until manually changed. So a clerical can type in the 5-30 cards each day without having to click the store/salesperson each time. What is the best way to do this?



I put those in the header because I guessed that would accomplish what I wanted. I guessed wrong. What is a form header for?

Use code that sets the DefaultValue property of the relevant controls. Move those controls to the Detail section. Rather common topic in forum.

The form header is a good place for form title label, as you have done. Also, for unbound controls to input filter criteria that are referenced by code or dynamic parameterized queries and for command buttons.

Ah good to know about the headers. Appreciate it.

Exactly what I am trying to do. Working great!

Thanks!
