When a user adds a product to thier order form, it inserts product, price, userID, orderID etc..

But what im needing is for the price to be kept current.

I think my dilemma is when the order is inserted, its keeps the price static.

Is there a way, either in the database itself (access) or in filtering an already filtered recordset?

i hope this is clear...post if you want any clarification.

hmm, unless you don't have a products table, just store the productID in the order table. Then you can refer to it using an INNER JOIN to the two tables.
That way, if the price changes, the price will be what's currently in the product table.
but that poses another problem, then the customer will want the original price, so maybe storing the price in the order table isn't such a bad Idea...
Really it's all about what your program needs.

If this isn't your issue, post again with some clarification.

actually, sounds exactly like what i need...

thanks.

hrm, after much painstaking reading through Access tutorials (kill me) i finally ound out that an inner join is the default and is not what i needed after all...bummer.

I'll clarify and see if you can help again...

i have a Products Table.
i have a Orders Table.

the orders table contains most of the information from the products table but also information from the User table.

what i need is: when an order is placed, a productID number is added (along with all the other user details) to the Orders table. What i want the database to do is to pull all the relevant info from the Products table that matches the productID and display in the relevant in fields.

I had a play around with queries but couldnt tell if they were what i needed or not...
