Default order form

It would be good if you have a data base of your options or styles so you can
use a vlookup or index formula to find the proper data any time you pick the
client from your drop off list. Do you have the database? The other option is
that you can youse "if" formula. Evertything depends how your spreadhseet
looks like.

help please....

i am trying to create an order form. normally this would be easy
enough...item price x quanity etc, but there are some other variables.
allow me to explain....

1. let's say we are selling products 1 2 3 etc all the way to 250.

2. let's say that products 1 through 50 only should display options (styles)
of a b c d e f and g, while products 51 -100 should display options (styles)
of h i j k l m etc.

I was hoping the two things above could be in drop down boxes... so..for
example..a customer orders product 22, only the a to g options or styles are
shown.

Now..to complicate things a buit further, each style would have a different
price associated with it.

I was thinking somehow to have the products listed in a drop down box...and
depending on the product selected, would evoke some sort of condition (If
product = 22, display options a-g..where the options or styles are maybe in
an external file?

Does this make sense?

Hope so :)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. And please be gentle...I'm a
newbie...but then you probably know that already by the way I asked :)

Thaks in advance,
Abe
