Shortlisting these with the help of pushbuttons is hell of a task. Leave apart the user it would be hell of a task for the programmer placing so many pushbuttons on the form. The way you have suggested would involve displaying the pushbuttons and hiding them. For Eg. clicking on Rice would dim the rest of the pushbuttons and display the new options required. Enabling/disabling such large number of buttons/ containers would be a task in itself and highly prone to typos. I have emailed a from and table. It was too large to post here. Copy them to a folder and try running them. It is a crude replication of form I use. Try typing Atom in search box. The list will be reduced very quickly. This has the basic advantage of editing the rows easily. The way you have selected will hard code the rates and items. Changes if any would require would be very time consuming. Pushbutton selection for a few items say 50 or 75 is okay but I will never recommend such a program for 400 sku's MacDonald etc use that option for they have fixed number of items I hope this helps. If you still stick to that option then try the tree view. I have never used it but could suit your needs And if you still insist then will have to think about a solution that can be implemented.
