    Getting two fields to link in a form

    I'm trying to make a form that will allow me to add a qty to a field in a table, but I have one field that is a part number and one field that is a description. Is there a way to make it so when you select the part number the field for the description changes to the correct description?

    if the rowsource to your partnumber combo is something like

    SELECT PartNum, PartDesc FROM tblPArts

    and you have number of columns set to 2

    change the description combo to a textbox and set its controlsource to

    =partnumbercombo.column(1)

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