Hi,

I have an Order form on which you select a client and the clients details (address, etc...) are brought up. On the same form is a Subform where order details are placed. a product is selected from the combo box (which works) and some text boxes are supposed to be updated with the details that are stored in the relevant table. The record source for the subform i created is a query which contains the 6 fields i need.

When i try to use this subform though there is no dropdown list but the combobox is there.. when i try to use the wizard to create a new combo box i get told that there are no valid fields and that i need to select a new source.

Frankly i havent got much experience in dealing with databases and VBA so im not sure where the problem is.. ive attached my DB incase i havent provided enough details.

Cheers
