I get a "type mismatch in expression" when saving a query. Why do I get this

What are the types of the fields in the table and what does
the query's SQL view look like?

If one is Text and the other is a number type, then use a
convesion function (CStr, CLng or ??).

Thanks for a response. One is a autonumber that is a long integer. The other is a text which I input using a barcode scanner. The barcode happens to be setup to input the customer's ID which corresponds to the customer ID in the other table. I'm not sure what you mean by SQL view b/c I have limited knowledge on this aspect. BTW, the tables are not joined in any way through the relationship if that matters.

How do you setup a conversion function?

Still looking for help and answers to above.
