I'm not sure? The user selects an item from a combo box that is also on the form. The value they selected is moved to a textbox that is a parameter for the query the form is based on. The form is they requeryed to use the records the user selected and it is after the requery has been perfromed that the new record is created. If they select an item that has two records in the file, three items are now listed and they can use the navagation buttons to move to the new record. The query this form is base on uses two files one of whihc is used to add/update records, the other file is used for informational purposes only.
