Hello everyone, this is probably very easy, but being relatively new to dreamweaver I am having some problems. I have created a page that queries a database and displays the reults on screen - easy enough. However when it comes to updating fields, I am having a little more trouble. The page is designed to query a printer supplies stock list, done in MS Access. I am trying to make it so that when a user selects a printer from the drop down list on the page, it will automatically populate the next field with the corerct toner for that printer. this is so that the user cannot select the wrong type of toner and put an error in the database. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can tell me how this is done.
thanks very much
James
