Using C# there are 4 textboxes, itemID, item description, item quantity, and items needed. Once you enter the information it goes to a listbox. Then the user enters an Item ID or an Item description in the textbox. Find the record and show the information in the 4 fields. If both fields are entered, then just search using the Item ID. It doesnt matter if the other fields have anything in them. If the record is found take the itemID, item description, item quantity and items needed and put them into their textboxes. If the items are not found have Message.Show ("items not found").
