    Linking Information from Table to Form

    Hi I created a table with fields: ID Number, Member Name, Phone Number, Address, Contact Person, Reason for Referral, Referral Source, Date, Phone:, and Fax:. All the fields are blank. except for the Phone: and Fax: fields, those have numbers in them. How do I get those two fields to go onto every new form I create? And I want to add a combobox to the form, so every new record created they have that option. But I want every record created to be unique. For example, if i choose Sally for the combobox in the first record. The second record I want to pick Jim. and I want that information to be saved on each record. And for it to record the information back to my table. I hope I explained this enough.

    -Mark

    I am new to Access and all of that. How do I bound something? And isn't that to keep the combobox the same for every record? I want mine to be able to have different answers for each. I just want the two fields in my table to be the same on every record in the form.

    It has to do with setting the Default Value.

    With that code, will it save onto the table what I put into the form? And it will save what I put in the combobox for each record?

    BTW-the two fields that I want to stay the same Phone:, and Fax: arent in comboboxes
