Data Entry Form: Retain Selected List Box Value

[William McKinley]

I'm creating a data entry form that will be used for "checking out" customer orders to employees. The form itself is pretty basic; it contains a list box of the employees who will receive the orders, a field for the order number, and a checkout date/time field.



Everything on the first scan works great, except that the selected listbox value is not retained into the next new record. This is making the process cumbersome for the user as they have to reselect the employee on every record. Ideally, I would like for the user to be able to take several orders, select the associate the orders will be checked out to in the list box, and scan each order number into the database. The data would then populate the table with the order numbers, the person's employeeID, and check out date/time.

I apologize if this has been answered already, I was unable to find the solution if it exists. If any additional information is required don't hesitate to ask.

Sorry, I guess I should have looked a little harder. Feel free to delete this post if it's redundant.
