I got stuck again. Can't overcome this step: loop through (in a form of checkboxes) pallets based on the lot drop down list selection, so it can be further submitted to complete the table. Please, please help.
So, basically, first
submit button (drop down menu) brings into the table lot number and description and also checkboxes to choose pallets.
Second
submit button (checboxes) brings into the table pallets numbers and weights.
Thank you for any help.
