Form for ResourceID and continous subform for P_O_ResourceID. Set
Master/Child links using ResourceID. Use a combo to select the ResourceID of
the subordinates.
It will only display subordinates in the subform. When you move the main
form to a record that is a subordinate the subform would show any records
that are subordeinate to it but not its own supervisor.
With some work you probably could but I never needed that type of display.
