Add record in subform through main form

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a form 'CentreMain' with a sub form 'CentreAddress' that displays the
multiple contact addresses (ie. Postal, Physical, Delivery, etc). When i try
to add a new address into the subform by clicking on it in the main form it
will not allow me to. I have tried adding a command button to bring up the
subform which i can edit from there but then I can't get it to load a new
record with the centre name already filled in. If possible I would prefer the
first method of typing it in directly from the main form but advice on either
would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Matt

Hi Matt,

You shouldn't be repeating the centre name in your subform, simply link your
address records back to the centre then grab the centre name from the main
table.

Sorry Damien. I should have clarrified better.

I don't actually have the centre name repeated in the subform. The
'addresstbl' and 'centretbl' are linked by the CentreID. My problem is that
when i add a subform to a form myself it does not allow me to add a new
record within the subform (ie, another address). If I however, create an
autoform based on a query of the 2 tables it adds the subform and I can add a
new record but the same problem occurs when I add a second subform to my main
for (eg. to show facilities).

There is obviously some setting that allows it to be done but i just can't
figure it out.

Thanks,
