All of the examples I have seen to date of selecting data for entry to a column from a list have been from very short lists, like say the type of book:

Action
Biography
Comedy
History
Romance

I have a situation where I need to insert new records into a request table. Members make requests, all members exist in a members table which may have hundreds of thousands of records. It would not be practical to do a select of the member name and id to populate a drop-down box.

Any suggestions for an overall implementation would be appreciated. My plan currently is to present a search screen on the Members table, then when the member is found have a submit button that passes the id and name to a dbforms entry screen that accepts these values.

Thanks!

Bill
