I need help please.

1. I have a [CmdBtn] to do some calculation on the first day of every month.(The Btn and calculation code are ready and working).

2. On clicking, the [CmdBtn] will look for [FieldTotal] entry. If no entry, it will execute.(This code is also fine and working).

3. While executing the command, it will populate the [FieldTotal] automatically so that second clicking of [CmdBtn] will take no action and the populated field will tell the user that calculation is already done.(Code for auto-populating is also fine and working)

4. On the last day of the month, the [FieldTotal] entry will be deleted.(Here also the code works fine.).

I have two tables Table1 & Table2. I have the form for Table1. The [FieldTotal] is in Table2. I inserted a TextBox in form and tried to link it to Table2.FieldTotal throu Data-ControlSource, but it is not working. When I open the form ‘#Name?’ appears in the [FieldTotal]. I tried changing the field property to Text and then Number. In both options, I get the same ‘#Name?’.

Interestingly, when I leave the text box as it is without linking it to Table2, the [FieldTotal] in my form appears blank. Here I am able to populate the [FieldTotal]. But when I exit and reopen the form, the text box is again blank.

Please guide me (1) in linking the Table2.[FieldTotal] to my text box in form (which is based on Table1) or (2) how to keep the text box entry permanent till the end of the month.
 
1) Why you want to save the FieldTotal, you can calculate them
always you need it. If you want to see the result int the field
always, put your formula, (the calculation code), in On Current
event.
2) About linking Table2.FieldTotal, I can't to say anything without
seeing MDB. It must be you made a mistake somewhere.
