Last week i got assistance to link two fields(Bound &amp;&nbsp;Unbound) together so when i selected the unbound field, it auto populated the data listed in the table. &nbsp;Now i can make changes to that data and keep it linked to the regional field on that table. &nbsp;The problem i am encountering now involves the unbound field not autopopulating when the form is opened. &nbsp;Although it is linked to the first record which is region 1 and the data is populating for that region, the unbound field remains blank. &nbsp;I believe this can be fixed by using an event procedure for on load, but i could not understand the examples i found on the Internet. &nbsp; I do have the bound region field present in the form, but hidden so it doesn't confuse the users. &nbsp; &nbsp;Attached is a copy of the database. &nbsp;<br />

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
