Zinemon, You could try filtering the subform by editing your query. If you used a query to arrive at your subform, go back to the query and do the following: You must have the same control in the subform as in the main form (combobox) for it to work. In the query design view of your subform...

When I say "look up the values", I mean that I want the text box to find records stored in the combo box and then keep adding these records in the combo box as records in the table (subform).
