    if you do not want to enter the ID, hide the ID column
    if the columns are
    [ID],[SUBJ]

    set the col.widths = 0;2
    then the user can pick the Subj. but the ID can still be the bound column.

    Just an FYI,

    "Type" and "Key" (field names) are reserved words in Access and shouldn't be used as object names.
    Plus they are not very descriptive. "Type" of what? "Key" for what?


    List of reserved words: http://allenbrowne.com/AppIssueBadWord.html
