i have employee name as column 1, id as number 2. if i put bound column to 0, all fields are blank. if i use column 1 as bound, it puts the name in the field (which is expected).
if i put column 2 as bound, it changes all the fields to have the name in the field – ARRRGGHH!! (it should insert the ID number) why isn’t it doing that????

thanks for your help

thanks andy, but it looks like the info i am using is much more in-depth than that… i understand the concept pretty much, but things are just frustrating me alot. if i sent you a copy of the db (it has only sample info in it currently), perhaps you could go a litte more in-depth?? your help is greatly appreciated

thanks

thanks to both of you

i know it is not advisable, and they won’t be using the tables. when creating forms, if the tables use combo boxes, the form wizard uses that as a starting point for the display of a control.. i just wanted to find out if it was possible. not really all that important, but it has sparked my curiosity.

thanks
