    Trust me, I have tried that every which way but on my head. If there is a way, someone please provide an example. That should be using a regular continuous form (not datasheet) with another regular continuous sub-form (again, not datasheet) embedded in it.

    the subform would need to be in the header or footer of the main continuous form and would refresh every time you move to a new row. Having got the error message, just change to form back to continuous. However if you want it in the detail section, use a listbox instead

    A valid workaround I suppose but not as aesthetically pleasing.

    But it's not a continuous form with subform, it's two subforms on a main form and the main form need not have data.

    This is what I ended up doing with my main overview form. It was a compromise from not being able to have a continuous sub-form in the main section of a continuous form.

    One quick question on this, is there any way to make the continuous forms 'smooth scroll' instead of jumping a full record section at a time ?

    I've looked at the list box but it really doesn't give me what I was looking for.
