    subform

    all, using access 2003. I know what I am trying to accomplish but don't know how to explain it. I will try. How can I add controls to a subform to appear like a table. My database has two tables which creates a one to many relationship. One invoice can have many tracking records. I already have a subform on a the mainform show the tracking numbers for every invoice. Now I need another subform for the accounting part which consist of 3 combo boxes. I am not sure it should be a subform. I need the combo boxes to appear like a record to the invoice. Ex. When the invoice is selected on the main form; the corresponding tracking number appear. Then I would like another subform that contains 3 combo boxes and an unbound field to allow the users to enter an amount. Once they create what I would call one record; if needed I would like the form to automatically create another record like they are filling in a table. I don't want to create 10 fields and they only need 5 but I don't want to limit them if they need 15 fields. After the records are complete; I want to total the amount fields whether they are 1 or 20 records. I know I came accross something like this before but I don't know how to start. I've attached a word doc to get an idea of what Im talking about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Open your second subform in design view and set its Display property to either Datasheet or Continuous.
