Is the "number primary key in the enrollment table" of type "Long"? That's
the only "number" type that matches an Autonumber.

I am importing a DB from Filemaker with info about students (names,
address,
etc.). There is just one table and because it has been used for many
years,
it cannot be changed. I have created another table for additional student
enrollment information. I have created a one-to-one relationship between
the
two tables using an autonumber primary key in the student table and a
number
primary key in the enrollment table. I have created two forms to add
information to the tables. All new students are added via the old student
form first. When I switch to the new student form, I cannot add the
student
number to the primary number field because it is bound to the Autonumber
ID
form. However, I can add new records directly into the table. Because
other
people will be using these forms, I would like to be able to update the
number primary key by typing in the autonumber primary key. Is there any
way
to do this?

Thanks.
