how do i auto fill other fields in my form once selected a record form drop down list.
I have created a dropdown list using lookup wizard, connected to a table. What i want is when a user selects a record in the drop down list, all other fields in the form will be populated with the data related to the selected record.
Is this possible, thanks in advance.

Hi,
use dependent dropdown boxes for this purpose.

Here is the "How to setup dependent dropdown boxes on Edit/Add pages" tutorial:

Thanks both of you for the reply.
Let me explain further about my requirements. I want to have a drop down list using lookup table, this dropdown will contain names of my products, what i want is if the user selects one product it will automatically fill one edit box (add or edit page) with the price of the selected product. Is this possible?

use the $Values() array to get the value chosen in the lookup box, use this value in a query to fetch the price from the table with the prices in, assign this value to a variable and make that variable the default value in a read only for the price box on the form.
