Ummm, as a sidenote, "fiddle" on a copy. You don't want to accidently
"fiddle" with the working one and have it stop working!

Gina, John (Vinson), and Allen (Browne):

wanted to say thank you for your gracious help. thx to Allen and John i
was
able to "properly" construct a DB using relationships, and thx to Gina for
helping me bring it all together.

john: i agree with your point about the confirmation button. going to
omit
it for now.

as a teacher, i have an appreciation for people who are willing to share
his/her knowledge for the sake of helping

all in all i've got what i set out the create. could use a few bells and
whistles but i can fiddle with it now.

Regards.
Mike

Gina,

i'm using 2003.

2. Then by all means add the button to add a new record. You know
your
users better then anyone.
since the cbo's are bound to fields in tblStudentSubject, when i select
a
cboStudent and then select a cboSubject, it creates a new record in
tblStudentSubject which is what i want. however, i'd like to add a
confirmation step. after user selects subject use a messageDialogBox
to
confirm entry.

-i imagine i have to use VBA something like

Private Sub cboSubject_click
MessageDialogBox.show("Confirm entry")
if yes, then add record to table w/ selected item in both cbo's
else, reset cbo's w/out writing a new record
End Sub

will that do it?
