Hello, 

As mentioned before I am creating a database for our family business based off the tutorial project. I am using the same Invoice form but made a couple of changes and need some help filtering my 'Items Sub' form in the 'Invoice'.

We buy and sell equipment, trucks, tractors etc. so I don't have the 'Orders' table to help filter my Items by 'Customer'. The 'Items Sub' form is filtered based on an 'ItemStatus' of 'Sold' and an 'InvStatus' of 'Not Invoiced' like I need, however, I can't figure out how I need to filter the items based on what 'Customer' I select in the 'Select Customer' combo box. The 'Customer' is associated with the item at the same time the 'ItmStatus' is changed to 'Sold'.

I have a feeling it's going to be rather simple, but I'm obviously a Novice! Please Help!

I am confused.  Why don't you have the 'orders' tables?  Are you using an alternative method to track income and expenses surrounding your purchases and sales of your equipment?  A BTW, we are all novices for life as there is always one more thing to learn!

Sorry, to answer your original call for assistance.  Double check your txt box and data references for that filter, and ensure you are using the Keyup Event.

@fstetson Will do. To answer your question, I have made some changes since my last post so, I now have 'Purchases' and 'Sales' tables to track 'Vendors' and 'Customers' along with the prices. I have a separate table for 'Item Expenses' since each item can have multiple expenses and the total expenses for each Item is calculated with a query. With my new configuration I think I can filter what I need easier but we will see!

You are very correct about every item that is processed can have multiple expenses.  Sometimes that can also get very tedious to record properly.  I can't wait to hear how this works out for you.
