Viewing table as subform and seeing linked items

This is weird. I'm trying to make a subform on a form and have it show the
entries from one of my tables. The odd thing is that when I look at the
table itself, I can see a "+" sign next to each row because the table is
linked to another table. This info is very valuable to me, but when I view
the table in a subform, the "+" sign for each row and its corresponding
detail is not there. Is there a way to do this? Any help would be great

MX1,

Did you check to ensure that the link is set up properly (Primary key in one
table to common fields in secondary)and that the relationship is appropriate
?

re: Viewing table as subform and seeing linked items


Yes, everything is setup fine. When I double click the table in question to
view it in data entry mode, I can see a "+" next to each row that has data.
Expanding the "+" sign allows me to see the detail in a linked table.
However, when I add the table in question as a subform in a form I work with
daily, it shows all the fields, but there is no "+" sign next to each row so
I can't drill into the detail. I need to close the form and go open the
table directly to see the linked detail. I'd love to somehow show the "+"
sign and related records from within the subform. Any thoughts?
