I have a form that shows burglar alarm permits. I have a subform that
shows the alarms that have occurred at the location of the permit
(linked by permit number). There is a different fine schedule for false
alarms for burglar alarms vs. panic alarms. I thought I could just
create an alarm type field and add an additional subform so that
burglar alarms appear in the first subform, and panic alarms appear in
the second subform. I tried filtering the subforms by alarm type, but
I couldn't get the filter to save. I tried having the subforms based
on queries that separate the alarm types, but I had problems defaulting
the alarm types when adding new entries. I'm now thinking about
creating two separate alarm files, but then I'll have to update a bunch
of other stuff. What would be the best approach, and how can I get it
to work?
