The new orders record appears with the sales file data virtually joined in the subform at the bottom.

The Seller name and commission fields are not stored with the record in the order file. They are only referenced and are noneditable. To make changes or updates to the seller data, use the sales form.

Note: If you delete this record, Seller name and commission do not delete because they are stored in the sales file.
