Table Design
What I am trying to do is create a table where when you select a distributor
in one lookup column, the next column has only the OEM's of that specific distributor. I have been reading Lookup columns for 2 days now and not sure how to go about this. I know how to create dependent combo boxes, but not sure how to incorporate this into a table. Any suggestions? Summary: Dependent column based on another column. Thanks in advance, Bradley
