Table Structure - Using Query with Form for Input

I am not completely new to Access, but I have run into a road block in trying
to normalize my database. I am not sure if I am using the correct structure
here. I have tried to post a few times without any luck or suggestions. If
you can help, I would appreciate it.

I have 2 tables.

T_Job Info is:
Date Entered
Job Number (autonumber)
Job Name
Contract Type ID
Work Type ID
Estimator ID

T_Bid Results is:
Job Number (long integer)
Contractor ID
Base Bid
Alternate Bid #1
Alternate Bid #2
Alternate Bid #3
Alternate Bid #4

There will be multiple bids for each job number. The problem I have is this.
I am using a form for the user to enter the bid results. The query attached
to the form prompts the user to enter the job number for which they want to
enter bid results. Of course the job number isn’t entered into T_Bid Results.
I have tried to join the two tables, and that hasn’t solved the problem. How
can I copy the job numbers entered into T_Job Info into T_Bid Results. Is
this even the correct way to go about this? I will greatly appreciate any
help/suggestions.

Thanks!!!!!

T_Job Info is:
Date Entered
Job Number (autonumber)
Job Name
Contract Type ID
Work Type ID
Estimator ID
T_Bid Results is:
Job Number (long integer)
bid ID (autonumber)
Contractor ID
Base Bid

this allows many bids for one job number

job number (1) -> bid (M)

create a form for t_job
create a form for t_bid

drag the t_bid form to the t_job form, creating a subform
link the subform to the form using job number

Is there a way to set up the form so that I can Enter more than one bid
result at a time instead of opening the form each time I want to enter a new
bid result?

I have a combo box where users select the customer name and can either go to the customer's info or open a list of the customer's orders. The RowSource for the combo box was a simple pass-through query: SELECT DISTINCT , , ,City, Region FROM Customers ORDER BY Customers.; This was working fine until a couple of weeks ago. Now whenever someone has the form open, this statement locks the entire Customers table.

Does anyone know of a way to execute sql code from a dynamically built text field? Before beginning, let me state that I know this db architecture is built solely for frustration and I hope to make it better soon.

Hi, I'm new to Access and this may be a basic question but I would appreciate it if you could let me know how to do this: I've created an Access table and would like to insert a column with the field name "name" and to put the same word "unknown" down all the rows of the column. How could this be done both in the design mode and in sql code?
