Hello,

I am using InfoPath 2003. I connected the form to a SQL database that I
created. As of right now, I only have 2 tables in it. In the rimary table the
columns are as follows: Location ID (Primary Key, indexed), Location, City,
and State. The second table has Transaction ID(Primary Key, indexed),
Location ID, Date, and Time.

The Primary table has been created. I do NOT want to add any more records to
it. However, when I submit records via InfoPath, the Location is re-entered
and a new Location ID is created.

How can I prevent this from happening? I want the Location ID to
automatically appear when I enter a Location that I know is in the database.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

You have come up against one of the limitations in the wizard functionality
that is packaged in InfoPath. There are many related posts but I will link
you a couple to get you started.

The easiest way to overcome your obstacle is to download the database
accelerator.

Feel free to contact me for more information.
