Found aWorkaround

I have found a way to get most of the data into my desired fields. However, if anyone knows why I can't copy and paste data from a parent access field into a child text field, I would still be interested to hear.

I have a form that has a parent-child relationship. The relationship seems to be working fine with the child record source based on a query that assures that only records matching the parent ID are selected. I can enter data in the child forms, but I can not PASTE data into them (they are all either text boxes or memo controls). I have opened the query the child is based on and I can paste into it. Why can't I paste into the child form?
