In a table, I have number of records belonging to a particular ID now
if I enter a value in one of the fileds of this table I want it to be
copied in all the records belonging to this particluar ID. for example
ID Name
--------------------------
1 xyz
1
1
1
2
2
2
When I enter "xyz" for any one of the record of ID# 1.. I want all the
other records (with ID# 1) to have the name field as "xyz" so after
this.. the table would look like this
ID Name
--------------------------
1 xyz
1 xyz
1 xyz
1 xyz
2
2
2
I know this is not possible in table itself.. However I presume it
would be possible to do this in a form. But I dont know HOW
cheers

I don't have "Name" as a field name.. That was just an example to
explain the problem in a simpler way. But thanks for the suggestion.. I
will definately keep this in mind and would check the list of reserve
words before I design my tables..
cheers!

Hell breaks loose as soon as you try an expression with that field on a

You *don't* want to do this in a form. Why not? Look at your schema.
Whether you have 1 or 4 or 50 records with an ID of 1, the Name is
*always*
going to be xyz, or whatever you edit it to be in the future. (Name
is not a
good name for a column by the way, as it's a reserved keyword.)
Which version? I looked at the reserved words for A97 and Name was not
a reserved word. In A2003 its not in the list of SQL reserved words.

Not that I'd ever use it, but I'm not sure I follow. In a small test
here, if I refer to it in an expression, I'd usually refer to the
control, which with my usual naming conventions would be called
txtName, and that seems to work OK.
Of course, if one does not rename the control, and use [Name] in an
expression, Access would return the name of the report, but in my
eyes that's expected.
In this test, even using
=Count([Name])
as controlsource of a control works.
When testing code, both
Debug.Print Me.Name ' and
Debug.Print Me!Name
gives the expected result, one returning the report name, the other
the contents of the field in the recordsource/content of the control.
Are there other sircumstances where using Name as field name makes
"Hell breaks loose" in reports? When called in to fix stuff, I've
usually only used the "band aid" of [bracketing] reserved words and
disambiguating controlsource/controls by prefixing control names of
the controls referred to in code or expressions, which usually does
the trick.

It may well be a memory leftover from my earlier experience with Access.
And, for me the situation is different, because I use a national
language version. When I name a field Naam, the dutch word for 'name',
Access recognizes this as the Name property on some occasions (when I
use the field in an expression AFAICR) and subsequently refuses to
understand what that means.
[] does no good in that case. In other cases it works fine. I decided to
not use any word that may be associated with a database property for
field names, maybe too rigorously, but for me workable and safe.

Funny they don't include the reserved words in the help files.
There's two lists of reserved words, one for Access and one for Jet SQL.
Beats me why Microsoft can't combine the two into one list so that we only
have to check one list for what's off limits.
Interesting. The only one I could find in ONLINE help, A97 or A2003, is
for Jet SQL. I wonder where they hid the second set in the help files.
I guess one needs to put on a new hat and think "How would MS define
Access reserved words?" If one can get into MS-think, a solution may be
found.
Like "specifications ". I guess I'd think "limitation s" are what people
look for more often.

Um, why would you do that? That would obscure the important
differences between *where* you can use them.
And Access and Jet are distinct products.
Now, in the Access help file, sure, why not have a single page with
the Access list followed by the Jet SQL list.
But combining them into one single list would be a huge mistake, as
you'd lose a lot of important information.
And some people use Jet SQL without using Access.
And others use Access without using Jet SQL.

Oh, my! You mean we're supposed to remember *when* it's safe to use the ones
that are on one list but not the other?! That's expecting a lot from people
who have a hard time finding their car keys in the morning! I've got most of
the reserved words memorized so I rarely have to look any of them up, but if
I had to remember *which* list each one came from so I could use it safely
I'd feel like I'd high dived into a shallow pool. My head would hurt! And I
