Possibly with an Update query, run in the After Update event of the combo box, but why would you want to do that?
And which record would you want to edit? The subform could have many records linked via the OrderID.

I don't see any combo in the subform called customerID

either way, you should not be storing the data twice (since you already have the info via the orderID link) unless one order has many customers which seems very unlikely

And if you have to do it, you can do this without code by including more than one field in the subform linkchild/master properties

e.g. link master would be Order_ID;customer_id

But why? Why is customer in both datasets?
