Marcia,
One thing I forgot to mention in my last reply is this; If you have the same senerio as in my combobox question (table1.description, textid stores the descriptions along with the primary key. Master1.text1 stores a list of foreign keys from table1). How can you apply this to a grid? The grid's record source is master1 and its column controlsource is master1.textid. That column has the combobox as its current control. When the grid runs, however, the column displays master.textid. How can you have it display the proper description from table1.description?

Thanks again for your help.
