    Main form stay intact while subform changeable.


    Hi ,

    Thanks for all the help that you guys are providing, you are the greatest.

    A little problem I am facing is that i have two forms ( main and Sub) . Everytime i want to enter a new record the main data goes blank ( not required) and the sub data goes blank for new data ( required) . The new subdata is related to the main data. This way I have to retype all the same data in the main form which I wish not. Please assist making the main form data stays so i only type the sub form.

    Sound simple but.......

    Muchas Gracias

    Can you tell more of what you are trying to do and about the data that each of the forms shows and how the data is related.
    A sub form is usually used to show the "many" data in a one to many relationship. The main form showing the "one" data.
    If this helped, please click the star at the bottom left of this posting and add to my reputation . Many thanks.
