Now when i go to input information in the "comments" column in the datasheet view, the same text will appear for every entry.

So, I have a main form with two continuous subforms like this:
frmContratos: main form frmContInsumos: contains new products frmInsumos: contains existing products
I want the user to highlight a word using a double click in a textbox called DescInsumo from frmContInsumos. And I want that highlighted portion to be used as filter for frmInsumos, which also has a textbox called DescInsumo.

I have a table that has a date field set to text. I use the Mid function and get just the month in a query. I have a textbox on a form that when the user adds a month or removes a month from a selected listbox it adds or removes that months number from the textbox.
I want to us that text box on the form as the criteria for the month (the Mid function getting the month) and I can seem to get it to read what's in the textbox and use it as the criteria. I can manually type in a number and it works fine.
Is there an efficient way to have default text in a textbox on my form (like a search box), but have it so that when a user focuses on the textbox (to type in a search term), the word should disappear.
Just like the search box on windows 7 start menu.
Then, is there a way to have the default text not be the actual text in the box? Otherwise, my search box will search the default text.
I have a form that has a textbox in it. I enter text into the text box by scanning a bar code. I then use openreport.cmd to pass the variable in the text box to the report I generate. The report then has a button that when clicked references the variable that I passed to it.
Essentially the problem I am having is that when I set the textbox back to blank, it also erases the contents of the new variable created. I want to either delete the value from the textbox upon scanning the bar code each time, or highlight the value in the textbox for it to be deleted upon the first key stroke. I had read about setting focus to the textbox, but I have been unable to get that to work. Here is my current code for what I am doing.
I am new to access and have been staring at the same Run-time error for 3 days (pathetic I know). I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does not like my Dlookup.

How do i save a record as soon as text is entered into the textbox in a form?I need it to save without moving on to the next form without having to click a button
