So I think this may be a stretch, but I have a subform that is
displayed on a main form. The subform is based on a query that brings
records from a table(It does not bring all fields, but the main
identifiers, since there would be too many to be able to display). The
user specifies criteria on the form, which narrows down the number of
records shown in the subform. Underneath the subform, there is another
subform that consists of 25 fields, but displayed in form view as
opposed to datasheet view(this way, only one record is shown at a time,
but I can display more data on the single form. Is there any way that
someone can simply highlight one of the many records from the first
subform, and the info for the fields specific to that record will then
be shown in the other subform??? This was hard to explain, so I hope
it makes sense.
Thanks,

Yes - it can be done, but you have to watch for contention issues between the
subforms if editing is allowed on both (or somethines even if it isn't).
The Current event fires on a form each time you move to a new record, and you
can use that to trigger a re-sync of the other subform. There are 2 gotchas
here, though.
1. Subforms are initialized before the parent forms, so your code can crash
the first time you try to process the Current event on the subform.
2. Sometimes, the Current event can fire before the recordset is opened, so
your Current event handler can crash trying to read data from the current
record the first time it fires.
I'll post back later when I have more time about strategies for working around
these gotchas. ma************@ eaton.com wrote in

Try this: On the main form create a textbox. It can be invisible,
it will still work. In the first subform set the On Current event
to put the Primary key of the record into the textbox*. Now Set
the Link Master Fields property of the second subform to the
textbox on the parent form. and the Link Child Fields to the
foreign key in your subform.If you don't want to use the on
current event, use the on click events of each field AND of the
detail section of the form
*parent!txtbox. value=me!pkfiel d.value is what I use, with names
adjusted to suit..

PA is y I've altered my email address.
So I did exactly what you said. I created the On Current command of the
first form, which sets the value of an unbounded text box on the main
form. I then linked the unbounded text box to the foreign key of the
second subform. After doing this, I can highlight a record on the first
form, and its key value will appear in the text box. However, the
second subform does not change at all. Any Ideas?

I am designing an Access 2000 database on a computer running Windows 98.

for the PO numbers related to the jobs on the main form and the next

Hi there, I have a subform, set as a continuous form.
When a user selects a particular record in that subform, how can I make that

Hi.
I'm having terrible trouble with a form that displays several
parent/child relationships at one time. It is a sales force hierarchy
- Sales force, district, territory, sales rep are the tables linked in
parent/child relationships.
I'm using a form to choose the main-parent and then several subforms
in datasheet view.

I have developed an appointments system database and I use the attached code
in the main form's current event to detect appointment clashes in the
subform. Is it possible to go to the offending record in the subform so as
to highlight it? I did originally have this code in the subform but (of
course) using the Bookmark property in its Current event made it impossible
to move away from the offending record!
Many thanks.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
