I just started to learn Access today so am a complete beginner. I have created a table called "table1" with a number of records. I have created a form also called "table1" which shows the data in the other table1. My expectation is that if I make a change in the data in the form, it would automatically show up in the other table. But this is not happening. For example, if I check a check box in form, the corresponding check box in the original table is not checked. I am sure there must be a very simple way to synchronize the tables but I can't see how. Any help would be appreciated. -- Arthur
