Pop up Subform

[Meryl]

Hi,

I am running out of room on my main for (general
information about a donor) and need more space for
telephone numbers. I don't know how many I telephone
numbers the donor will have.

I created a subform for tel. #'s, but would rather use a
pop up than a tab. Is there a programatic way to
preserve the form/subform relationship using a popup?

Thanks!
Meryl

Not in the same way that a subform will do it.

What you would have to do with a popup is dynamically change the filter for
the popup so that it only displays records for that donor (e.g., if you have
a unique donor number that is the key to the donor table). HOWEVER, you
also have to pass that key value to the form and then store it somewhere on
the form (in a hidden textbox) so that the value can be inserted into new
records in a before_insert event.

It might actually be easier to do with a tabbed subform

What is a tabbed subform? I need to do what you are trying and could use
some help.
Thanks
