Access 2K Win98
I had based a form on 2 tables : ReferalTMH and EmpTbl with the following
record Source:

SELECT [ReferalTMH].[IDNUMB] AS ReferalTMH_IDNUMB, [ReferalTMH].[DepID],
[ReferalTMH].[Ref_Centre], [ReferalTMH].[Order_ref], [ReferalTMH].[E_D],
[ReferalTMH].[Emp_Status], [ReferalTMH].[PRI_rpt], [ReferalTMH].[Escort],
[ReferalTMH].[Ref_dt], [ReferalTMH].[Ref_Dr],
[ReferalTMH].[Ref_to],[ReferalTMH].[Transport], [ReferalTMH].[Brief_hist],
[ReferalTMH].[Ref_Num], [EmpTbl].[IDNUMB] AS EmpTbl_IDNUMB, [EmpTbl].[Name],
[EmpTbl].[PAYRoll], [EmpTbl].[Desig], [EmpTbl].[DEPT], [EmpTbl].[Blood_GP]
FROM EmpTbl INNER JOIN ReferalTMH ON
[EmpTbl].[IDNUMB]=[ReferalTMH].[IDNUMB];

I added a Text field "Sec_ref "in Table "ReferalTMH" and then added
[ReferalTMH].[Sec_ref] to the record source. I also Added an unbound text
box to the Form "ReferalTMH" and navigated to the Sec_ref  as Control
source. My problem is that the Cursor remains at the right most part in the
box and refuses any typed data( No errors msg box). Also on returning to the
record source in design view the braces of [ReferalTMH].[Sec_ref] are
stripped to read like [ReferalTMH].Sec_ref. What is going on? And what is
likely to get me going again. Or do I have to rebuild the form from a
scratch?

Thank to everyone who understands my problem.
