    search main form using the values in the subform

    Hi,



    I am trying to fetch the values in the main form using the values that are selected in the subform using the combo boxes. In the subform there are three combo boxes. I am already able to search anything in the main form using a free text box field.

    What exactly i want to achieve is:-

    1). I want to have three combo boxes on the expertlist page and i want to filter the records using the 3 drop downs and once the data is filtered then use the free text box field and and again filter out the records.

    I am attaching the database file as an attachment. Please help me with this.database updated 17.10 - Copy.zipdatabase updated 17.10 - Copy.zip

    Subforms don't control main form (child does not dictate to parent).

    What you describe makes no sense to me.
