From: size5snoopy on 17 Mar 2010 16:41 One field in my table keeps showing up as the auto-number instead of the descriptions for that field. I have tried everything and don't know how to fix it.

What's the datatype of the field, and what (if anything) is on its Lookup properties? Do note that most professionals avoid Lookup Fields and don't let users look at table datasheets: http://www.mvps.org/access/lookupfields.htm -- John W. Vinson [MVP]
