Information in tabbed form

[dunnmel4]

I created a tabbed form and I added text boxes in the tabbed form. However, when I type information in....it carries through all of the clients and I want the information typed to stay only with that client. I hope that makes sense.

I attached a view of the screen. I want to be able to enter information in the blank boxes below.

Thanks!

Are those textboxes bound (do they have a control source)? I'm guessing not, so the data is not being saved, and will stay there as you change records.

Ok and how do I go about changing that then?

Put the appropriate field in the control source, just as you did for the textboxes above.

I got it. Thanks! Sorry I am new to all of this. I have another question though. If I want to have a form that says payments and I have a field that allows the user to type in a name or number to pull up the list of payments for the account...how do I do that?

[pbaldy]

One way would be a form/subform where the form was bound to customers and the subform to payments. Master/child links would keep them in sync with each other.

My apologies. I tend to be a visiual learner. Perhaps you can take a look at the file. It's in spanish but pretty easy to understand the concept. Basically if I create a relationship between payments and clients, then when one looks up the client by name or number all the payments for that client will show up?

I figured it out...Thanks!!!
