Subform

[Christina]

I have a main form and a subform. Both form properties for data entry is
set to NO, and Cycle...to All Records

The main form contains employee data. The Sub form contains weekly pay

information. I key one employee's pay records, choose another employee
from the main form, and key that person's data. If I then choose the
previous employee in the main form, I cannot see the data in the subform. It
is however in the table, but I would like to see it in the form, and edit if
I need to. When I go back to view, the subform shows a blank form, with
number 1 of 1...blank

I need basic inctructions please.

Thanks

The Link Fiefds data type are set to text. It is the employee's ID, and for
our specific purpose can either be a number or a letter, also it cannot be an
auto number. Is the a way that can work?

Thanks

When I choose an employee from the employee records form...which is the main
form, in the subform the same employee shows,up, showing that the fields are
linked. But my problem is as mentioned I am not able to scroll theough all
the pay records for any one employee.
What can be the problem

It can work the way you have it as lonk as both fields are text. Again, you
need to get the pay table set up properly or Access will not ley you relate
the two fields.

What do you have in the LinkChild/MasterFields properties of the SubForm
control? Is there a common field in both Employee table and the Pay table?

No, actually no records show up, just a blank input form, number 1

So you are saying that Pay Records for the Employee show up in the SubForm
but for some reason not all of them?

What is the LinkMaster/LinkChild fields between the main form and the
subform? Sounds like those are not linking to the correct fields.

Thanks so much.

<mild grump>

As I asked last Friday (emphasis added):

=====
If that's not it, please post the Recordsource properties of the main and
subform (post the SQL if it's a query), ***and the subform's Master and Child
Link Field properties.***
=====

If you'ld checked it then you could have saved yourself, me, Gina and
rurualguy some time.

Sorry but I am not an expert at this, and sometimes I don't really understand
the instructions .

Regrets, Thanks again.
