John,

Before I answer I'd just like to say that I inherited this project from
someone else, who had no idea what they were doing and provided no notes to
me!


Been there, done that, went through a lot of ibuprofen...

Soo with that said, The data is showing up in the table now and on my forms.
I noticed there was an @ symbol in some of the text controls that were added
before I took over. I removed these @ signs and the text is appearing in the
text fields.


Where is the @ sign? YOu say "text controls" - textboxes on the form? Are
these in the displayed value of the textbox or in some other property? Is it a
single @ or is the textbox filled with them?

What does @ mean in access?(besides a pain in my ass)


Nothing that I can think of. It may be something that this developer included
in the app.
