    Linking table value to a text field in a form

    Bit of a newbie.... I have two tables... one for Job_Setup information and a second for Job_Status information; they currently have a relationship via the Work_Order value, and the relationship appears to be correct as my sub tables display the information of the opposing table. I would like to have a text/label in the Job_Setup to DISPLAY, not store, the value that is stored in the field Current_Status in the Job_Status table. I am assuming I have to query each table against eachother? Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you tried creating a query that joins the two tables? You could then show fields from either table as if they were in one table.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
