Default Updating Table with a form

The Rubic data is updated on a weekly basis and I have a field for the week
ending.To answer Tom's question,if the teacher does not know the student
id,why is it there.The reason is that if the teacher sees two students with
the same name,it will be a flag to go and find what the students id are.I do
have a student name table with their id and names. I guess I took the easy
route.Being new to access I was not sure how to do what Tom is
recommending.How would I do what you are suggesting Tom

Jamo,

I concur with Tom that your design of the tables is incorrect. Please
explain what the fields beside student name and StudentID are in the Rubic
table so I can suggest a better design of your tables. Are the Rubic rable
fields dated so you enter them throughout the school year?

I have Two Tables ,a Student Name Table with Two Fields, Student Id and
Student Name the other table is a Rubic Table and has the same two fields
along with other fields. I have created a form with a combo box(Names) on
the
form and I am trying to get the Name and the Student Id to be entered into
the into the Rubic Table fields but I can't seem to get the Student Id to
be
entered. I know I am doing something stupid but I can't seem to make it
work.
Thank you in advance for all the help. You guys are great.
