Subform linked to Main Form - Continuous Form problems

[Ben]

I have a main form called WAR.
I have a subreport called Builds.

On the WAR form, I have a link to open the Builds form. The Builds form is
a continuous form. What I am struggling with is having the Builds Form
continuously link with the WAR form. To explain easier, If WAR ID is 1, then
on the Builds form I want to see in the header or something that WAR PK (1)
then I can add as much data as I need. The problem I'm having now is that
every time I want to add a new row of data, i have a drop down menu with the
Main PK and I have to select it each time for each row.

Thanks

Ben

Hi Ben

"I have a link to open the Builds form"

then it is not a subform...

the Builds form should be ON the WAR form in a subform control

use a mainform/subform and set LinkMasterFields and LinkChildFields --
