Chris,

I'm not creating a web access. The page is being used more as a form. It
is a bill of lading and some of the product info, weights, etc. feeds in from
a product table. Then, the user adds consignee and trucker info which
updates the customer table and the user prints the bill of lading. All of
that works fine, but I need to get more uniformity in the input of consignees
and trucker names so that various reports are more concise (we have numerous
users and I keep getting different variations on the names of consignees). I
thought it was an easy fix to add drop down menus nameing the primary
consignees and truckers. So, I created the drop down menus at the table
level, but they do not follow through to the page (like they would in a
form). This was a suprise to me. Am I doing something wrong?

I could propbably re-do the page as a form, but I wasn't sure I needed to
make such a project out of this. The bill of lading has a lot of detail and
I think the orignial designer felt that a page was easier for that reason.

Thank you for any input you can provide.

Peter
