Subform question

[DP]

I've had great luck on this discussion group getting wonderful answers to
questions. I haven't received one to the inquiry below, so pardon me if I
just try it again:
__________________

I'm wondering if I've overlooked something very simple on a subform.

I made one, easy enough, and the query it is based on fetches 4 fields from
a table, according to my own critera. When I open this subform just by
itself, as a form, all the fields display their corresponding records (the
subform displays as a continues form).

I have placed this subform on a main form, and I cannot figure out why, when
I open the main form, the subform only displays the values of ONE of the
four fields. The others all show "Name?"

Is there a simple reason why this would be happening?

Thank you, David Pike

I have never heard of this. Post the SQL of your query. Does it make any
references back to the form? If so those references will be incorrect when
the form is inside a subform control.
