    combo / textfield problem

    Hi all,

    First let m say that i did search and found lots of answers to my problem and have solved it partial.

    I have a main form that include subform.

    I needed to get the data from combo box to be shown in textfield in a (continuous) subform.

    Found the solution:
    IDCode.column(m ynumber)

    Now this works great, but i have realize that coz this textfield is acutally a meant for Price for my products, the calculation is not working properly when trying to calculate quantity and price.

    Example:
    In subform i have
    Code
    Name ( combbox)
    Quantity
    Unitprice
    Value

    and then i have in footer of subform:
    SubTotal:
    VAT:
    Total:

    Can any1 explain me how should my code look like so that i will get price from combo box to textfield and that my calculation will work properly??

    Also...
    How could i add 1 more combobox in subform that will have categories and if i decide to pick from category1 the 2nd combo box that is also in subform will show items only from that category??

    I manage to do it outside the subform, but it's not wroking inside subform.
    It always shows items from category1 .

    Here's my code:
    SELECT DISTINCT PRODUCTS.ID, PRODUCTS.Name, FROM PRODUCTS WHERE (((PRODUCTS.IDC AT)=[SubFormOrder]!IDCAT)) ORDER BY PRODUCTS .Name;


    If i add [Forms]! infront of [SubFormOrder] then the subform will not work.
    Thanks,

    Hi to reference a subform You need a structure like:

    =Forms![Elements]![Element_info Subform].[Form]![ACTIV_LINE_N]

    Where Elements is the main form

    Element_info Subform - the sub form control in your main form

    AND
    ACTIV_LINE_N - a field in your Subform!

    :)
