Default Please Help: Append New text to Old text already present in databa

After reading your post again, you should disregard my original answer. It
was based on amending text before the form is executed.

To do what you want, you would have to amend the code that posts the data to
Access so that it adds to the comments rather than replacing them. Without
seeing the current code, it is impossible to offer a better solution.

Hi All,

I have an excel form which populates access database.

On the form Once we input a student Id in the form, we can input student
records and also add comments, after making the changes we click "Submit"
and
the data goes in the databae.
One field that I have on the form is "Comments" Textbox whereTA can insert
their comments for any student.
Here multiple TA's can comment for one student. The issue I want to
resolve
is. When a new TA inserts a comment, Old comments are deleted and replaced
by
the new comments. Is there a way to append new comments to old comments
and
not delete the previous comments made by other TA's?

Hope I made it clear.

Thanks in advance
