Update a linked table from another form

18
OK I have a database set up with three tables but only two I need help with
Invoices
Customers

The fields for both tables are the same
Name -
address
City
State
Zip

I have a form with these fields.

Name - this is a combo box with the after update... ME! code
Address
City
State
Zip

What I am trying to do is when an address is entered into the form manually and a check box is selected, it will update the customers table... (essentially update the address book only when box is selected)

I know there is a way to do this but I have not figured it out yet.

You have a problem with the structure of your tables. You are duplicating information.

Have a look at this tutorial.
