I have a table, with a number of records in it. What I'd LIKE to be able to do, is allow the user to open the table (via a worksheet form). Once all the data is displayed, the user can go through all of the records, and with a combobox, update the status.
Sample record:
Item | Quantity | Location | Status |
---------|-------------|--
12345 | 26 | Warehouse | Pending |
12225 | 12 | Shipping | Processed |
Ideally, the 'Status' column will be represented by a combobox, and the user can easily go update all of their orders, by simply selecting the appropriate status. OH! And one other thing...IF it's possible, I'd like to set this up so that the actual data doesn't update every time the user changes the row...is there a way to create a 'temp' dataset, and update on pressing some form of 'submit' button???

I've figured out the problem :) I was using a query as my form source...just had to add the status from the item into the query, and set the control source of the combobox to the actual item status...works fine now!
