Adding data to a field

[Rudolf14]

HI all,

First of all, I'm new to ms access.

I'm busy creating a report writer data base for my work. Currently I have a problem and need help...

my database is as follows;

Tables:
TblArea: list of areas for reporting.
TblMachine: list of machines currently in production
TblDescription: a detailed description of the faults we identify ( I will come back this Tbl shortly)
Tblmain: This table has the following data fields:


Date: date field,
Area: Tblarea(lookup),
Machine: Tblmachine(Lookup)
Description: TblDescription(Lookup).

On the Description I can't add new descriptions once I'm in TblMain. I need to use the drop down menu for it.
What do I do to enable it so I can either select from the drop down menu or add new descriptions?

Attached I included the DB[ATTACH]

Regards,
Rudolf

Main form and subform are both bound to tblMain which appears to emulate intrinsic split form design.

Use combobox NotInList event to add new items on-the-fly. https://blueclawdatabase.com/notinlist-event-code/
