    Change existing combo box to new one

    Hi.



    I have a database that needs to be modified and I'm kind of a newbie.

    I have a form to be filled out that currently uses a query to fill four fields.
    The user clicks a combo box (Sub/Vendor ID) to select a specific vendor and the 4 fields of Sub Vendor ID, Company, Address, and Taxrate are then filled in. The only value stored in the Work Order table is SVID and none of the values appear on the work order report.

    The old form worked fine but they now want to use the companyname field as the combo box for selection to fill all 4 fields.

    I thought I made the mods correctly, but the only field that gets updated is the companyyname field.

    I'm actually at a loss as to how the fileds get populated from the original query but not from the query I made.

    I can send a sample data base and 2 screen snapshots of the old and new forms.

    Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Go ahead and post the zipped up db. That would be the quickest way to help. Just include details on which form you are working on.

    Attached are zipped database and images of old form and new form.

    I removed all the other forms but it is the WORK ORDER form.

    Thanks
