I have a simple form that collegues use to submit 'names' and 'descriptions'. Upon submit, this is written to an Access db called 'NOM'.

I use another form that reads 'NOM' and populates itself with those 'names' and 'descriptions' with a radio button next to each name.

One vote is submitted via this form by clicking the radio button next to the name of the person they wish to vote for then clicking the submit button.

Upon submission of this vote, the results are written to another Access database called, 'VOTE'. But in every case, instead of one description being captured with the vote, all the descriptions from the 'NOM' db are being captured.

How can I capture the one description that goes with the name of the person being voted for?

Thanks,
Chris

why not use two tables in stead of two databases? much better and faster


to capture only one of the descriptions use WHERE field = '<data>' (single quotes only if it is text. numbers like this: WHERE field = number)
