Normally you don't need to, as it is already saved somwhere, otherwise your DLookUp wouldn't find it.

My form is for doing inventory at a parts store.
With the form and subform I have now, the user enters the 'Date' and 'EmployeeNo' on the MainForm, then an autonumber is asigned to the 'StockTakeID'...
In the 'after update' property of your subform field, you could fire a macro using the 'Set Value' function.
In the 'Item' line enter where you want the value to go.
[Forms]![FormName]![SubFormName].[Form]![SubFormFieldName]
In the 'Expression' enter what value to use...

Thanks for the reply. I am running access 2k and would greatly appreciate any help.
Also I made a typo. The splash stays open for two seconds, not minutes.
I just want the progress meter to look as though it is opening something.

I have a splash form that opens for two minutes when my database opens.
I want a progress bar on the form to be zero when the forms opens and fill to be full when the splash form closes.
I have put an active x progress bar on the form but I have no idea how to make it work...
I have an idea that would make my lists easier to read.
If line 1 had a white background
and line 2 had a yellow background
and line 3 had a white background again
line 4 yellow again, and so on...
Hi
If certain text boxes are left blank on my form, I want a msg box to alert the user.
If the user clicks vbRetry, on the msg box, they will be taken back to the empty text box. (I have this part working.)
What I can't get to work is this part;
If the user clicks vbCancel, on the msg box...
