Populate fields from either of two combo boxes

I have two combo boxes linked to two different tables. I would like to populate the same fields from either of the combo boxes. Operators choice. Is this possible? I am using Access 2010.

You can certainly populate both boxes by using the after update event to copy the value between the two. You'll have to make sure that there is some logic to keep a infinite loop from occurring.
Thing is... in a properly normalized database, unless you are keeping information for historical reasons, you shouldn't need to be doing this; therefore you might should read thru: > Database Normalization and Table Structures. By eliminating the data duplication you can make your life much easier in the coding and maintenance of the the DB.
