I am new to subforms, but have been playing around with them recently.
Getting the subform to show a datasheet view fine. To add some better
functionality, what I am envisioning doing is having a subform that then has
a combo box that displays the "many" (one-to-many) part of the relationship
based on the "one" in the main form. Then when you choose from the combo box
in the subform some text boxes are filled with data. An example is we have a
client that has many contacts. So when you go to a client in the sub form
the combo box fills with contact names. When a contact name is chosen then
the address information is filled into the text boxes. I think this is
better to look at and easier to work with for users. Any possiblity of doing
it? thanks.
ps I can work in vb if need be.
