Hi everyone, here is my latest challenge. I need to look up values in a table, then store those values into a control on a subform. So, for each record in tblIndustry I need to store the value of the field 'industry'. My code doesn't work if there are multiple industry records for a contact ... because all the values are stored into the same control. Could someone tell me how to "reference" mutiple occurrences in the subform? Here is my code so far ... Thanks!

' find industry records from source contact

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblIndustry WHERE (((tblIndustry.in_contactID)=" & lngContactID & "));"

Set myRS = myDB.OpenRecordset(strSQL)

' add new industry values to subform

myRS.MoveFirst

Do Until myRS.EOF
Forms![frmContact]![frmContactIndustry_Sub]![List_industry].Value = myRS!industry
myRS.MoveNext
Loop

myRS.Close
Set myRS = Nothing
 
No, it didn't do the trick ... I think because the subform is bound to the "child" record of the main form and I'd be trying to "add" records on the subform in a loop. I don't know if this can be done ... if anyone knows, please tell me! Thanks.
