John, I had used the change event because the job ID is an autonumber so the event would only fire once, I believe. Regardless, I changed it to afterupdate(for good habits). However, the code you provided did not solve my problem. The jobs form is opened from a button in the customers form. The jobs form does not contain the field Client_ID(it is only used to sort the jobs under each client). Here I see all the jobs for the selected client. When I enter a new job I would like the form to notice the specific Client_ID selected in the parent form and write this into the Client_ID field in the Jobs Table. Hopefully this information can help further explain my problem.
