I am basically a newbie. I have created a database for a friend; tested each table and form he needs to keep track of his home business info in another table. When he selects business from the combobox in the main form I would like to have the subform popup with the fields already filled in from the main form. is this possible. Also I tried a macro open form; form name=business frm; where condition=business. It pops up form but asks Enter parameter value
