I have some code. It is working great and grabbing the Device info from an inventory database and putting it into the current form device type. The issue is that it updates every record on the form to show the exact same device even though they are different devices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is an Unbound control. We decied to take this route because we had everything in a query, because we did not want the info to update the database it is pullling info from. Below is a design view.
Design View
Private Sub Monitor_SN_Txt_AfterUpdate
Monitor_Type_Txt = Dlookup("device_type", "inventory", "serial_number = '" & Monitor_SN_Txt & "'")
End Sub
Three solutions:
1) Replace Monitor_SN_Txt by a combo box. The first column will be the SN, the second will be the device type. You can extract the second column with
= Monitor_SN_Combo.Column(1)
(The first column is column 0).
2) Keep a text box and type the DLookup expression as control source in of Monitor_Type_Txt.
3) Replace the source of your form with a query linking your current table to the table 'Inventory', and add directly the field device_type. This is the preferred method.
Good luck!

Is Monitor_Type_Txt a bound control? Is there something in the property "control source"? If not, you will see the same content in all rows in datasheet view or continuous form view.
