Getting information from forms

[James]

Hello,

I am trying to make a form where people can buy items. Each item is in a
table called Items. Each record has a name and a price.

They select the items by a check box, and a combo box. I cannot get the form
to work out the prices as I don't konw how to get the prices from the table.
I have tried some things with the combo box but it just displays the price
not the name. I want to display the total at the bottom.

Hope you can help, Thankyou.

James.

Open the Northwind sample database.
Open the form called Orders Subform.
Look at what that example does in the AfterUpdate event of the ProductID
combo.
