How to refresh field contents from a value list when value list changes?

I have a table Subjects containing a list of unique values in field SubjectName. This field serves as a the value list for populating a field SubjN in a second table Articles, which is related to Subjects.

My problem is that when I make changes to the values in SubjectName, the corresponding contents in SubjN do not refresh. Is there an automatic way to refresh them?

There is a different field in Articles that populates automatically depending on the key that relates Articles to Subjects, so I have used only a value list for SubjN.

Thanks for your suggestions.

From your description, the Subjects table should have at least two fields, SubjectID and Subject. Then, any table that you wish to relate to Subjects would have a foreign key field, _kF_SubjectID. So, if the text desc Subject changes, you'll instantly see the new text desc in all related tables.
