    New Record in Subform Help

    I have a Subform of one Form, where the fields are autofilled off of the main form for a New Record.



    However, on a second Subform of a different Form, this is not the case.

    I have searched the properties, etc. of both Subforms and they are identical except for the Master/Child Links.

    Any suggestions?

    In the one that works, I linked Name & Discharge Date in both the Master and Child Links.

    In the second one that doesn't work, I tried to link Name & SSN but it wouldn't let me do both (blank records). When I switched it to just SSN, the records appeared but the new record was not filled out like the other subform.

    In the property sheet for the subform you should be able to like multiple fields separated by a semi colon.

    Link Master Fields : CalibEquipmentID;CalibCompany
    Link Child Fields : CalibEquipmentID;CalibCompany

    The 2nd SubForm's RecordSource is a Query, which has what I believe is called an Expression Field (CONCATENATE of First Name & Last Name from Patient Table). Could this be the problem or am I missing something else?

    I set the Relationships between appropriate tables.

    Tried the Link Master & Link Child Fields.

    The only records that show up is when I have SSN in the Master/Child Fields, but it still doesn't auto-fill the Name Field in the Sub-Form.

    Can you try filling in the name using a dlookup based on the ssn?

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
