Comparing Entered Data To Existing Product Names In A Table

Recommended Posts

So this has been bugging me for a while.

 

I'm trying to create an ordering system for my work. Any product that needs to be restocked has to be typed into a text box. All entries are added to a list.

 

BUT...

 

Anything that's typed into the text box has to match with the product name in an existing table of data in the database. This is to prevent staff from ordering items that they shouldn't because fewer and fewer suppliers are willing to accept returns these days.

 

If it was free text I could easily create this, but I'm not sure how to go about having the character string entered into the text box compared to product names in a table?

 

Any help?

 

Thanks...
