 * I’ve created a relational database, for simplicity sake, let’s say Inventory 
   and Line Items.
 * There is one Item in inventory and many possible line items for an invoice.
 * Has anyone discovered a way to join and populate the relational fields?
 * Ideally, I’d like a text box where you start typing in the product name which
   it checks against the inventory table. Haven’t seen a way to do this yet, so 
   I just created a text field entry.
 * If I create a Filtered Join Table to pull the other information based on this
   text field, it only gives me a pulldown menu, not an auto population of the related
   information.
 * Anyone have suggestions?
