It could be that your app design is not appropriate for what you are trying to do.

Do you have a "middle" join table between Trailers and Move Requests? 
So that One Move Request has Many Assigned Trailers 
and
One Trailer has Many Assigned Trailers, with the join table being the Assigned Trailer Table? 

If you use that setup then  when you go to assign a trailer you will have a very powerful search ability.

There is a way speed up date selection process even more but i would probably have to work with you one on one to get that working, but meanwhile let's get the app table structure correct.

    Okay my tables are as follows 


    Trailers


    Transfers


    Transfer Form

    Transfers is a child to Trailers & Transfer Form

    I also created a "transfer record #" field on the transfer form table that "transfers" uses as a lookup so that I can display the related "transfer records" on the transfer form. I really need to rename these to something less confusing. 



    So now on the transfer form I type in some basic info & a transfer record number, hit "add transfer", select a trailer in a new window and once I hit save in that window I can see the list of records with that transfer record #.


    I'm good with this, thanks for the guidance.
