Do not create duplicate postings in different forum areas.

jdraw,

i dont have a code and there is no error message it just doesnt do anything at all !!

Sounds like the button you created is inert. So, go into DESIGN mode on your form and create a fresh command button using the Wizard?

paulO,

thats what i did i used a wizard to create the button but the information doesn't go into the table

If you can 'ZIP' and attach your database to a reply it wouldn't take too long to troubleshoot and correct the problem.

If you follow DCrake's suggestion in your other thread you will be able to solve your problem.

If you are looking to create a save button, then you are going to have to write some VB to do it, which im thinking may be over your head at this time.

Make the form bound then you dont need to have a button to "save" information to the tables.

i cant the database is not on this computer, i think the problem is that the buttons and textboxes are not bound to the table but i don't know how to do that either.
