When I save, all of the controls bound to this table save properly EXCEPT the CustPKey--I get nothing. I checked its Value just before saving (txtCustPKey.Value)--it's correct. I save--get nada in that one field only. I have checked every property and value I can think of. What would prevent a bound control from writing to the field in the table??? ARGH!!@!

check controlsource. also make sure you're not setting that value before you create the new record (if using buffering) -- otherwise it'll go to the previously active record
