    Auto complete between tabs in Form

    Hi



    I have two tables as follows:
    1) Jobs - this lists all jobs completed by a firm
    2) Properties - this lists all properties associated with the above jobs, there can be multiple properties under a single job but each job has at least one distinct property record associated to it.

    I want a form that has one tab for inputting the job data and a second tab which has a subform for entering the property data. How do i link the property data to the job record? I assume i need to autocomplete an ID number based on the Primary Key of the Jobs form.

    I want to be able to use this form to both enter new jobs and find the information from existing records. So when i open the form on Job ID 123 the subform in the second tab shows me the property data associated.

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Normally this is done with the master/child links (properties of the subform control). The subform wizard would have asked about linking fields.
