Form display

[tina]

what version of access are you using? if the data entry
form uses a combo box that stores the EmpNum but displays
the EmpName, then it should do so whether you are adding a
new record, editing existing records, or just viewing
existing records. i never heard of a combo box
spontaneously changing its' properties in a form when you
move from a new record to an existing record.
if you still need help with this, you're welcome to send
me a copy of your db and i'll take a look at it in Access
2000. delete proprietary data from the copy (leave a
couple fake records), compact it, and zip if necessary to
under 2 MB.

Tina, you are absolutely correct. The form I thought was
showing incorrect information was being populated from
another form so it was picking up the value of the combo
box.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
