Default Field to automatically put value depending on code entered in

Al,

I am trying to do something simiar. How do you create the 3 column combo
box? I think it will work for me!

1st,
Your post has me confoosed...
Why would entering a bar code prevent your using my suggestion? It would also seem to
me that the barcode should contain a unique value that would define the Price and Desc...
why a manual ItemNo entry at all?
What field in this scenario will be responsible for determining the Desc and Price?
Please give a bit more detail. This is definitely do-able, we just have to establish
what the setup is, and what info does what.

And, a minor point... please don't delete previous responses from your replies. That
way, everyone can see the "flow" of the problem in the last post.

I'm afraid that will not help me on this. Basically I am trying to setup as
a Point of Sale system. I will enter in the item number, scan the barcode and
need it to pull up the product and its set price.

I have been using a invoice database to invoice my customers for a while and
now want to update it so that the product name automatically enters based on
the product number I put in another field. Example below.

Item Number field, I type in 101 and then the field of description would
automatically enter "Candy Bar" and would automatically enter the price in
the next field.

Anybody that knows hoe I would do this I would greatly appreciate the info.
Thanks
