Hello

I've been told to replace the standard record navigation buttons with custom button with text so that the users don't get confused about which button does what?! :-)

Anyways, Here is my question and problem. On simple forms I have managed to create a series of buttons that work just fine. But on more complicated forms that has a sub-form. I do not know how to (or if it can even be done) control the records in the sub-form from the main form

The navigation buttons must be on the main form but they need to control the record of the sub-form. Can someone explain how I can achieve this

Thank you for your help

Daniel

Daniel,

What is the reason these buttons can't go on the Form Footer or Form
Header section of the forms you are using for your subforms? I would
imagine this would be easier than having them on the main form?

It is mainly a space issue.... I've maxed my sub-form to the max but still have lots of room on my main form
