    Why do you have two tables? Does the medication table have more info then just the medication name? Need a table with fields for Medication and Dosage. Then you can build dependent (cascading) comboboxes. Check tutorials at http://datapigtechnologies.com/AccessMain.htm especially the 3 on comboboxes in the Access Forms: Control Basics seciton.

    You are describing a field in a continuous form that has no ControlSource (unbound). Could that be the case?

    Great! Did you notice that I attached your ZIP directly to the post? We currently do not allow BitMaps so it needed to be zipped as you did.

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