This should be very easy but I am getting more and more stupid, so I can't solve it. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a main form, filled via a query, with a built in subform which references a table of names etc. which is also provided via a query.
There are two cases, assuming the main form data already exists:
Case 1 the name of the Client already exists- this works fine via a combobox dropdown and the data appears in the subform.
case 2 the name does not exist and has to be entered. This used to work but no longer does so- even worse I get an error on entering the first character saying I am trying to enter a Null value.
Also if I go to alter the dropdown- e.g. delete it, I get an error name not in list.
Obviously I have done all this wrong, but I have played with it for hours and am now just going round in circles, head scratching.
I have uploaded a mini version to Dropbox, only 7MB if anyone would take a look for me.
Well- I would apprend it but security says no
I will post this and try again
