Actually, you would not store anything EXCEPT the ID Number in the second table. The rest will stay in the other table (due to rules of normalization) and you can use a query to get those details when necessary.

To DISPLAY the details on the second form, you could do like I do in this sample from my website.

Bob,

what i can do if the combo is in main form and bound txt box is in subform your help will be apreciate

If you have the data in the combo (let's say you have the third field in the combo and want to put it in the subform), the subform's text box control source would be:

=[Forms]![YourParentFormNameHere]![YourComboNameHere].[Column](2)

If you have the data in the combo (let's say you have the third field in the combo and want to put it in the subform), the subform's text box control source would be:

=[Forms]![YourParentFormNameHere]![YourComboNameHere].[Column](2)

i miss the point in my previous email what i mean is, if the Combo box is in main form and the fields text are in Subform

following your sample can I use the same comand in visual Basic or I need to include the subform name ?

1. I just gave you the syntax for referring to the main form item from the subform control.

2. You do not want to store that information as it is redundant and violates normalization rules, hence that is why I gave you the syntax I did which will DISPLAY the value from the main form but not store it in the subform.

In the form's On Current event you can put:

Me.AllowEdits = Me.NewRecord

And, if you don't want deletions, change the form's AllowDeletions to NO in the form properties.
