I have two tables, 'Company' and 'Director', which both have field
EnvelopeNumber. I am trying to create a form which has Company and
EnvelopeNumber at the top and (presumably) a Director subform below. I would
like to be able to search on EnvelopeNumber to find the correct company, and
then insert details of directors.

Can anyone advise or point me to a guide to this basic operation?

Thanks for any help.

Build a combo box on a form which has 2 columns:

EnvelopeNumber
Company

Use the combo box wizard to create it. Set the column width of
EnvelopeNumber to 0"

Build a subform for the Director table which links on the EnvelopeNumber
field.
 
Thanks very much for your help.

I have done this but I only seem to be able to add one director for each
company. Am I doing something wrong or does this method only allow a one to
one relationship?
