Subform Synchronizing

G

Guest

I've got a parent form with header information, and a subform that displays
the details behind the header info. The controls on the parent form are
combo boxes, and I was hoping that a user could make their selections using
the combo boxes in the parent form, and those selections would be reflected
in the subform details.

Maybe there is a better way to do this, I'm not necessarily married to the
form/subform idea, but could someone give me a clue as to how to synchronize
the subform to the selections made on the parent form?

What you've got would work, but only if the parent form is unbound. If it
is bound and you start changing the entries in the ComboBoxes then you are
Changing that parent record (not what you want).
