That's why I'm using the Dlookup to lookup the BoardID from the current record. &nbsp;<br />
Still won't work?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I want to populate a control (not bound) on my continuous form when there are records in a different table. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I've gotten this far but need help making the control change. &nbsp;<br />
DLookup(&quot;Count(*)&quot;, &quot;[BoardComments]&quot;, &quot;[BoardID] = &quot;&nbsp;&amp; Me.BoardID)<br />
<br />
Something like this?<br />
If<br />
DLookup(&quot;Count(*)&quot;, &quot;[BoardComments]&quot;, &quot;[BoardID] = &quot;&nbsp;&amp; Me.BoardID)&gt;0<br />
Then<br />
me.CommentsYes=1<br />
