I am not sure what you mean. I scroll throught the conrtact forms and the
Solicitor ID field updates as I do but the name (Dlookup value) is always
that of Solicitor ID 1.

Didn't work. Yes, the Solicitor ID in the Soliciotr table is an auto number
and key field. In the contacts table it is a number field (indexed but allow
duplicates).

In the contacts table from which the Solicitor ID on the form originates,
there are more than one record with the same Soliciotr ID. In the Solcitor
table, there is only one distinct ID per record. Is there a problem with this.

Is this something new? I don't recall you mentioning this problem. Is the
solicitor control (the text box or whatever that shows the solicitor name)
bound to the LName field in the form's Record Source table or query?

Actually, I realize now that you did mention this, but I misunderstood the
problem. Is SolicitorID a number field? Is the Solicitor text box bound to
LName in the form's Record Source?

Please post the SQL view of the form's Recordsource, and that of the combo
box's Rowsource. Also indicate the datatype of the SolicitorID.

I'd be inclined just to have a combo box bound to SolicitorID but displaying
the solicitor name, rather than having any DLookUp or separate control; is
there some reason you have chosen not to do so?
