SetTempVars

I have an Access program where I am updating Attendance to a class .

I want to set a variable as the class number so I dont have to enter it for
every student.

It worked once... but I must have changed something and its not working
now... and there was a bug when I got it to work.

on Class Controller Form I have a Combo Box (labled CRN)that looks up
classes I have added.
I have a button that has a macro .. OnClick SetTempVars name ClassNameTemp
expression [Forms]![Class Controler]![CRN]=[TempVars]![ClassNameTemp]

the problem I had even when it worked was that I need the CRN # stored not
the class name. but it returned in the box the class name.

My Schedule looks like this...
Class name: Intro to Studying
CRN: 11111
Term Fall 2009

Class name:Intro to Studying
CRN:22222
Term: Spring 2010




..........

Further is is no longer working I dont know what I changed but this is
what I have now.

Add students to class Form Default Value =[TempVars]![ClassNameTemp]



I wonder could it be because they open at the same time??

Meme,

How many columns does your combo box have? What is the Rwo Source of your
combo box? And which column is set as the bound coulmn?

I am also wondering about your table set-up because there should be no need
to take the same information from one table and post it to another table.
Perhaps you can provide us with a list of your tables and the fields so we
may better assist you?
