I have created a form based on a query, which gets data
from two tables (see my post yesterday for further details
on that). I use the wizard to do this for simplicity and
bind the form to the query I need, then use combo boxes to
look up the various pieces of data and store them in the
field I need.

I know that can't be right, I should be chucking it all in
a table. My question: do I use a make-table query or
create a whole new table to replicate all of the fields I
need? If I use a make-table query can I base a form on it?

And why don't my controls show up, even if they have
nothing to display within them?
