I am a very new user and this may be a simple fix I have missed. I have created a combo box which uses another table for its data. When I go to "form" view and select a choice from the combo box, it changes all the previous and next records. I want the selection from the combo box to be unique for each record. Thank you!
 
I have combo box named Category. The box is a drop-down list containing client types. When I select, for example, "developer" in the form for record no. 1. Then it changes all subsequent records to "developer". Then if I change record no. 2 to "tenant". It changes record no.1 from "developer" to "tenant", as well as all other records.

Is this what you meant by "more specific", or do you need how I set it up and the combo box properties?
 
Okay, sorry I still don't quite understand.

When you select a value in the combo box, do you want to display all related data in a subform or you want to add data?
 
It seems to m that you don't have the control source set to any particular field.

This means that the combo box is not saving it's value for the current record anywhere.
 
pflangan...Thank you! That was it, I new it had to be simple.
TTThio, Thank you too.
