Because you're using a extended table in this lesson, is it possible to set the CustomerID textbox to show the customer's name rather than the ID when in view mode?  I tried change the textbox to a combo box, but when I do, my control source won't allow me to select any field except the ones within my extended table. I'm not sure what to do.  bottom line is that I don't have a Nickname field to help me know which record I'm changing.
