I'm using a Continous Form. Whenever the user chooses either Percentage
or Dollars from the Drop Down Combo Box a different field appears. If
you choose an Dollars the Percent field disappears and the Dollar field
shows up so that you enter dollar amounts. Whenever you choose
Percentage the Dollar field Disappears and the Percent Field appears (a
combo box) so that you can choose percentages. It works great except
when you go yo the next record and choose the opposite option he
previuos record changes. It still keeps the previous choosen value.
Its just confusing for the user to look at. Is there any way to have a
continous form that would show both fields in different records
depending on what I choose?
Thanks
DS

PS
I guess what I'm asking is how do you make this record dependant as
oppose to it happening on the whole from?

Continuous forms are funny. If you affect a column, it affects all
columns.

One thing you might want to consider is placing a command button on the
form and call it Views. If the person clicks on it, both views
(dollar/% can be presented). You can also pull up this form via a
Dbl-Click event on the field.

Or...in the continuous form present both dollar and %.

I set it Up to Open A Seperate Form, This way I can click on each item
and give the proper discount. It works OK. Thanks.
