Thanks but it didn't work. I want to save in a control source field not in text box.
Please help

The text box must be bound to the field in the table.

i don,t understand. So sorry for being so childish. Can you explain it please? Thanks

Please some help me. I will be very thankful to you.

Please explain what it is that you need help with. Having a form with text controls bound to a table is basic DB design. I'm not sure how simpler I can explain it.

I'm not sure I understand what it is that you want to do.

Please explain in greater detail.

I have a form based on query. On form i am retrieving data from another table using DLookup in a unbound text box. So i want to save the result of DLookup in another field on same form and that is actually a record source of a main table.
Please take out me from this problem.
Thanks

So i want to save the result of DLookup in another field on same form and that is actually a record source of a main table.

First, you can't have one form that has the record source of both a query and another table. You must find another way to do that. You could use a subform, but it sounds like your are trying to do something very easy in a very difficult way.

How are the table and query related? Do they have a matching index that you can use to find the proper field in the table?

What is the purpose of these actions, so we can understand what you are trying to do and offer different options/solutions that would fit your needs.

i have a table (main).Query is created on main table and form is created on query.I am using a control source field(Consignee's ID) to retrieve 4 different commissions from another table (Consignees).And I need one commission of them that must go to a new field(commission) in the form for further calculations.
I am using DLookup function in text boxes to retrieve 4 different commissions.
So please assist me.
Thanks

Irslan,

Please explain where the value is to be saved--not "in a table". You need to explain where you query is coming from (you said table MAIN), but where is the result of your lookup supposed to be saved. I can't help you if you don't provide the basic information of what you are trying to do.
