Oops! never mind it is working. I have to click off the field before it shows correctly. Thanks so much.

Thanks Lee. For some reason neither of your suggestions seem to work. Is there something else I have set wrong? I notice in Field Control I have "Synchronize with fields font" selected. Is that a no-no? Thanks again for your help.

How do I get this to work for text that is pasted into a field? It seems to want to bring the font formating with it.

Fenton, thanks so much for your help. I haven't had a chance to take a look at your attachment but I will this weekend. Best Rick

I'm a newbie and I'm having a problem and I hope someone can help. I'm creating a database with basically a customer table and a table for all the contacts I will have with that customer. The link is the customer ID field. I want to be able to click on a button on the customer record and open a new contact record and prepopulate the customer # field from the customer record I was just on. I would then add my notes for that contact session and then upon enter automatically go back to the customer record. I have a portal on the customer record that displays all the previous contacts and that is working fine. I just want this nice automated way of adding new contact activity. I've tried lookups and was working on a script but I don't seem to be getting anywhere. Can anyone help? Rick
