Is it possible to have a textbox on a form display data from one table, and then regardless of editing, store this data in another table?
 
Well..........I presume that the control source of that text item is set to ur table1...rite... ?? Now u want that when u save the record it should save the value to another table..U have not specified that u want to insert the value or to update the value, so u can use update or insert query behind any event..... anyhow one sneaky way of doing it can be

draw another text box and set its control source to table2 field and set its default value to text box that is linked to table1 field. U can make the 2nd text box invisible and locked so that user might not see it. Although its is simple n maybe stupid but it works for me ;)

Cheers!
