AutoPopulate Within a Form

[Guest]

Hello everyone,

This will seem very simple, but I'm spending a lot of time and have had no
success. I'm trying to populate a form field based on data entered into a
subform in the form's header.

EX. When a name is entered into the 'observer' field of the subform/header,
I'd like an identical field on the main form to be populated with that
information.

Thanks for your help.

Why? I don't think it is wise to duplicate information on a form. If you
need the info for another table, do it behind the scenes.

Hi Jahoobob,

I need this field in order to know who the observer is in both tables (form
& subform). How can I do this behind the scenes?

Thanks,

Dave

I would really need to know your table structure and if/how you subform is
linked to the form.
