Input data into a subForm Query

[stapet]

I have a Main form with a unbound combo box that displays all distinct customers. When a customer is selected the subform displays all records for that Customer and allows for new data entry. Can I directly reference a field in the query to assign a value?

I'd like to automatically assign the "CustomerID" in the subform, based on the Customer selected in the Main Form.

Any help is appreciated!

You'd put CustomerID field in both the main form and the sub form.
AND link the subForm CustID to the main CustID using the subForm properties:
link parent/master form,
Link child form.

enter CustID in both, THEN you can enter data direct into the subForm.

It doesn't let me link because the main form is not bound. There is just a Select statement behind the combo box? Is there a way to still link the forms?

BIND the master form, then it works.
