    Record Selector in Tabbed Forms

    Good afternoon,



    I have set up a tabbed form in front of a main form. I am trying to place a record selector on the main form so that when the record is selected, all of the tabbed forms will relate to that one record. I have tried a couple of different ways; one where the field of the table from where the record selector comes from changes from text to number. In another attempt, I get a type mismatch.

    Can you show me how to make this work?

    Thank you,
    Michelle Marie Perron

    By 'tabbed' form you mean a Tab control?

    You have subforms on pages of Tab control?

    Have you set the Master/Child links properties of the subforms?

    Hi June7,

    They are tabbed forms (not tab control). Only one of the tabbed forms has a subform with Master/Child properties.

    Am I able to send you the file?

    Then do you mean a Navigation form? I don't use them. They are harder to work with, for me anyway.

    You can attach files to post. Follow instructions at bottom of my post. Maybe someone can make sense of the issue.

    Thank you. It doesn't appear I can compact the file. Right now it's 940 KB. I have it in Dropbox if that will help.

    Please advise.
