Revised field on a form in datasheet view

[captainlove]

I have a datasheetform that takes it value off a query. In my datasheet form there is textbox that has a value (unit cost),that it take off the query that feed the form.

Then I have an unbound textbox(Revised cost) whose control source is unit cost. So I have two textboxes with the same value. What I want to do however is that everytime I enter a value into the revised textbox. I want this value to show up and to be stored as the value for that textbox until such a time when I decide to change this value again for a specific item.

Can anyone help on this please

If "unit cost" is a field in your table then the control is bound.

If you want to store information, then really the text box will need linking to the field in the table somewhere. Can't you add a new column to the table to do this?
