A simple query; I want to enter text in an unbound text box and for it to be repeated in another on the same form.

Try the After update event..
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1Name_AfterUpdate()
    Me.TextBox2Name = Me.TextBox1Name
End Sub

Strange! Using the code builder every time I enter "Me" the programme crashes!

I think there is some unresolved compiler issue.. Did you try Compact and Repair? Debugging the code??

Tried everything. I even downloaded a brand new template but the same happened with that. I am very much a novice and completely lost!

Sorry, it is one I developed (with invaluable help from the Forum) to run my one man business, so confidential. However, surely it would not affect the Microsoft template I downloaded?

The forms, database etc have been in use for 6 years (Access 2007) without any problem - all I am trying to do is add an additional text box which takes its input from an existing unbound text box.
