    Form with sub form - duplicating info

    Hi Gina, not sure what happened to the reply I had sent on Friday so I will redo it and hope it makes sense- here goes: I could in the first instance ignore the counsellor and reason tables as I use them from a combo box although I do have a relationship with the appointments table 2015_16...

    combo box in a sub-form

    whoop whoop I got it, I added in the control source under 'All". I thought linking it to the table when creating the combo box was enough. A small victory but eventually I will get the hang of this - one step at a time....

    combo box in a sub-form

    I apologise for my complete ignorance to what you have said - I am trying really hard to pick things up from youtube videos and some really good books but even when I copy things exactly (using my record names!!) they do not seem to work - so far the one thing I have got right is the...
