Wink Linking and autofilling boxes in a form

Hi. Somebody should be able to help me with what is probably a simple solution..
I have a form which is completed from a series of tables. What I need to do is display and autofill a second box that is dependent on the answer to the first.
The table is set up as three colums, ID, code and country. For example, if a user selects code AUS, I would like the next box to autofill with Australia. (The table is set up as 1, AUS, Australia in the three columns.)
All replies gratefully received.
Geoff

are you talking about combo boxes or just bound controls?

How does the user "Select" ?

Could you please post a copy of your db (remove any sensitive info) and someone will have a look at your problem.



Regards,

John, it appears I was talking about combo boxes. After several cigarettes and rebooting my brain I managed to get it to work.

Many thanks for your time.

Geoff
