Access 2016: Subform updating related table
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
On my database I have a main form that displays people as individual records. People can have one or more 'Keywords' assigned to them. More than one person can have each keyword so I have a junction table that models this many-to-many relationship.
On the main form there is a subform that allows the user to add and remove keywords from a record.
[
Under the keywords header I can use the combobox to select the desired keyword and the keyword_ID is automatically populated. However on the junction table the keyword field is blank, only the keyword_id field is filled. On the image below the blank field is the keyword column.
On the subform itself the keyword and it's related keyword_id appear.
I've tried adding in additional combo boxes, changing the bound column, changing the Row Source but haven't been able to fix this. I have a workaround with another combo box where the user selects the keyword twice, this combobox's control source is the keyword field on the junction table and this works but this isn't a long term solution.
One suggestion is that this is the expected behavior of subforms and that I should change my queries to use the ID not the text value of the junction table however this would need to be a last resort. On a previous version of this database the functionality I want was achieved using multi-valued fields, I specifically moved away from this because of the other issues this was causing and hopefully this means what I want is possible.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
