I was reading some of the other posts and saw that there is a way to post data from one table to another. If that's true how do you take data from one table(lookup) and place the data into fields of a form in another table. The reason being that we have a big parent table that has all customers with thier address and what ever connects them to us. Then when the customer has other activities such as is if he is a member or has bought tickets the customer is then put into the different activity tables. But i want the user who puts the data infoe into the form for the different activities to be able to use a lookup table of the parent table to find the customers and then pull the infoe into the form such as last name, first name, id number, etc. then i know they have the right information in the form because it is the only way the feild will fill is with the parent table infoe. Gosh! did i say that right! Is there any hope for me!
 
The combo box wizard will create the control based on your look up table, however you only need to store the unique ID identifier from that table in your second table. The combo box can of course display the name.

Help me understand what you just said! Should i make a query using both tables then use the the query to make the form? Can i add new records to both table if i do that?
