How do i get a combo box to enter data in a table from a form?

  • Follow


I want to use a form for data entry. Within that form I have two combo boxes 
to look up recurring data. When I select an item and expect it to write to 
another table it does not. What must i do to accomplish this?

You'll need to tell us more details about your form's setup and the tables' 
designs. Your question suggests, though, that you may be storing data 
redundantly in your database, which usually is unnecessary and may be a 
source of future data integrity problems.

What is the form's RecordSource query? Are you actually trying to update the 
data in these two tables via your form, or do you want to use those two 
tables as "lookup" values that you then enter into whatever table is being 
updated by the form?
