MAY DAY MAY DAY.. HELP HELP...

I have been working for days on this.. I am working on a
form that I want to show a field on another table. I
select a "text box" from the tool bar. Next, I right-
click and get to "properties." I then go to the "data"
tab and select the "control source.."... I use the
expression builder to point to the info I need.

Catch, this works when I create reports. It does not work
when I try to do it on the form... by the way, the tables
are correctly connected.

Is that a bug... or something that cannot be done.. (I can
not use the form wizard, because I have too many fields..
and the form wizard has limits.)

Please advise.
 
It sounds like you're trying to do a lookup on another table. Look into
DLOOKUP. I don't know enough about your structure to make more specific
recommendations.
