Hi,
I need to include a text box on a form for any comments that may apply to an
individual record. Any attempts I have made show the comments for one record
duplicated for all There must be some way of creating a text box that will
hold unique comments.
Many thanks in advance

The text box must be bound to a field in your table.

If you don't have this field yet, open your table in design view, and add a
field of type Memo. Save. Close.

Then open your form in design view, and add the new field from the Field
List (View menu.)
