Editing the field in the subform should trigger the update in the associated table but that doesn't happen. There are no calculations at this point.

The form shows the updated field but how do I get it to make the change in the table? I have attempted to use the "on change" and "after update" to no avail. Can I do this with a macro? I'm too rusty with VBA... Thanks, Doreen Yahoo!
