Thanks Mike,
>>>Do you have the "ignore record not being unique" (sorry, I forget the exact prompt) checked?
no
>>>Is the key unique?
yes
>>>And the unique ID on the form is the same as the unique key in the table?
yes
>>>The key is defined as having a unique, auto-incrementing key with just one field?
Unique yes, auto-incrementing BINGO!!!!, One field yes
>>>Just some thoughts. I've seen this before, but can't recall the exact solution, but I think it had something to do with the key usage on the form and the table.
You were right on target with the auto-incrementing key .
THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT
