I am trying to code a button that would let me enter a date and a
description/update and then have it posted to a certain area on that same
form.

Ummm...

Why?

That is, why a button to do what you can do with a couple of textboxes?

Because I want to be able to view the stuff I have just entered.

For example, I have a client, I wish to keep track of that client throughout
their training session. so I would pull up that client's file key in a date
of completion, and then type in what they complete or their status. When I
hit submit it would be view directly to the side or below the text boxes. I
would be able to view what I just entered and what I have entered in the
past. Now I have tried subforms which let me view what I just did but the
problem with that is that I would be able to go directly into that subform
and make changes from there. I don't want anyone to be able to do that unless
they actually have the table open but not be able to change it while they are
in the form.

Do you understand? I know I should have explained better. Sorry.

I'm afraid I'll need a cup of good coffee before I'll be able to parse this.

Are you not entering data in a Form? When you enter data in the Form you can
see it in the Form. It's just THERE.

Perhaps you're entering data in a Table and displaying it on the Form, or
what? It sounds like you are saying that you have data displayed in a textbox,
and that you want the same data displayed in another textbox directly to the
side or below the first textbox. I simply don't understand what you're seeing,
or what you expect to see!
