hi there........
me again ... sorry.


my problem this time is that i have a form which is linked to a database..... so when u update the form, the database will be updated as well.

on my form, i have a feild called pizza ordered....... u basically type in what pizza u want......... my problem is that i want a seperate box linked to this "pizza ordered" field. so when u type in a pizza..... a description will come up....... so if i type in "chicken hot" as the pizza..... i want "chicken with peppers....." to come up in the box...... and when i change it to "magarita", then the description on the seperate box changes to "cheese with tomato...." etc.......

u know what i mean.........
i tried using sub forms to do this after creating a seperate table for all the pizzas and description.... but i got stuck..........
if anyone has any idea.......... PLZZZZZZZZ HELP>>>>>
i would be so grateful to u.... thanks.........
 
It sounds like what you have is pizza then an detail description of what is available on the pizza. There are most likely a exact number of ways/topping the pizza can have. You might create a separeat table with all of the possibilities and then have a list box on the order form to indicate such. Could also reduce any confusion (misinterpretation) of what is exactly wanted.
