Thanks in advance for any assistance The text probably is not being copied to all the records - rather, it may not be saved in ANY record, and just displaying on your form while the form is open. If this is the case, then your new field is "unbound". Make sure you've added a text or memo field to your customer table. Then, in design view of your form, open the Properties of your textbox and set it's Control Source to the name of the new field in your table. This will now be a "bound" field - it's bound to the field in your table. In the future, after you add a new field to a table, you can just drag it onto your form from the field list while in the form's Design view. This will set the Control Source for you. -- Armen Stein Access 2003 VBA Programmer's Reference http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...jstreettech-20 J Street Technology, Inc.
