web form with select and dependent grids

[PPS]

I need a little help getting started with this, suggestions would be great!
The applications' purpose is this: a school is allocated a certain amount of $ for the year to spend on updating technology, it's called 'refresh'. The database has a table for the location and amount of $ it starts with. Then a table for orders and for order_details (the individual items) and funding. The funding table exists because an item can have a percentage paid by these refresh dollars and the rest paid by another fund, so there can be more than one funding source for an item in an order.
My problem---
The current access form has a drop down at the top for choosing the location. That fills 2 grids, one with the orders and a second with the details of each order as it is selected. A purchasing specialist uses these grids to indicate that the purchase is allowed (meets the standards for the fund), may add or change fund distribution, or may just mark the purchase as 'reconciled'.
I would love some suggestions on how to go about this form. I'm fairly good at pulling data and looping through it to generate HTML, I've done it with checkbox and radio arrays anyway. But this has me stumped - I need a push in the right direction.
Thank you!

I've read this a couple of times, but my head hurts.

Could you provide the table structures and any table relationships?

Yes, I know what you mean..
I'm trying to replicate an access form without falling into access traps.
This is a new project, so if you think the table structure is flawed I can make adjustments there.
Thanks for looking at this, my head hurt too...
