I want a text box and a combo box to be a repeatable grouped unit of fields in a form please.

How should I go about this?

With many thanks!

For example, I would like this to work like the ability to add more than one phone number in a form

So you want to be able to add multiple "child" items to a single "parent" record? Using your example, if you're viewing a Customer record, you want to be able to add multiple Contacts to that Customer record?

If so, you should add a Contacts table, and relate the Contacts table to the Customer table:

tContacts
---------------
ContactID
CustomerID
ContactType
Contact
Notes
etc etc

You'd then create a form (datasheet or continuous) and embed that form in the parent form. Set the Master/Child links to the correct values, and you can then add as many Contacts to a Customer as needed.
This question needs an answer!
