Hey all,
I've been asking a lot of questions, I apologize... I'm about 75% through my project, but getting caught on little snags.

I am trying to figure out how when i select an object in my Listbox (source is table), I can get the other information for that table entry to display in a form that's already embedded? I hope that's clear. It's probably some kind of relationship dealie or VB, but I'm not sure where to look. thanks!
 
You select a record/item in a list box. This item has a value which might be the primary key field from a table. You can display the related record or records on your "form that's already embedded" (better known as a subform). You can use the link master/child properties of the subform control to link the list box to the subform.
