Form linked to table?

[JAYLO]

All,
I created a form and (thought) I linked it to a table. Same fields, etc. I can update the info in the form but it doesn't update the table and vice versa. What did I do wrong?

TIA!

In your form properties, what does it show being the Record Source? It should be your table.

Likewise, on each field, make sure that the Control Source of each field is the exact name of the field in the table.

The easiest way to create forms from tables/queries is open the table or query and click on Autoform, which will create the form automatically (with all links already completed). It probably won't be in the format you want, but then you can modify the format from there to get it exactly as you like.
