Hi, brain meltdown so help would be really appreciated !!

I have a form with a single combo box on it which selects different countries.
This form ( frm_countries ) has a subform which displays the data of all the resorts within that country. ( countryid, resortscountryid are linked )

fine and dandy so far....

What i want to do is have 2 text boxes on the mainform, which allow you to enter a new resort name ( & transfer cost )to the country being diplayed.
This would then enter the info into the RESORTS table, resortname,transfercost, resortscountryid

Problem:
The form is based on the countries table, so i cannot bind the textboxes to the data. Even if i did bind them, i would not want to as they would just display the data for the current resort selection. ???
Therefore i presume i need 2 unbound text boxes to enter the data and a button which writes the info to the table.

IS this the best way of doing it.
If it is - how do i do it ??

I'm quite new, but am sure i have achieved greater things than this !! it's doing my head in as i have a complete mental block !!

Many thanks for any help / advice

Phil.
