I want to have data for a particular field in one table (Table A) pulled from a field in another Access table (Table B) - which I was able to do using the lookup feature. But when I update the data in (Table B), the data in (Table A)does not update.

Is there something more involved I need to do to have the data automatically update in (Table A)?
 
Hi

Is theer a comon column to relate the two tables together?, if yes, make a query, base for form on the query ratehr than table A, the you have all of the columns in both tables available in the form
