Comments box

[allykid]

I am trying to create a text box that I can store comments on for each individual record in a form. However, whenever I try to do this it carries over from record to record.

Is it okay to create the new field in the original table and have it bound to that field... Not sure from a regular database manager if this is the solution.

Thanks.

It sounds like you may need to create the field in the underlying table first. I suggest a field with data type memo. Then add it to your form, make sure the control source is set to your new field name.
