RE: Autopopulate AutoFill Form

Hi Ofer,

That didn't seem to work or I did something wrong.
*Here's a pic of the DB I'm working on. might make things
easier?http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5/str82/DB.jpg

That idea you gave me before worked perfect it just isn't storing the fields
that get autofilled into the Form Info Table.

Thanks,
