Change Record Source on switching View to Datasheet

Hi,

A question regarding Access 2002:

I've got a form which should be displayed in Form View and in Datasheet
View. But I want to use a different record source for each view. That
means, when the view is switched I want to switch the record source
also.

I tried to put this functionality on the "On View Change" event, but
this did not work - the record source stayed unchanged. I tried it in
the "On Current" event, but this leads the form to endlessly requery.
But where else could I put the functionality of changing the record
source? Is it even possibel to change the record source in correlation
with changing the view?

Thanks,
Stephan

Two views - one RecordSource (makes sense)
One view - two RecordSources (makes sense)
Two views - two RecordSources (?????????)

Why don't you just use two forms?

As it is the same underlying table, only 2 different queries filtering
the data, I thought it fits to do it this way. But you're right, I can
also solve this with 2 tables. Less elegant, maybe.

I never suggested two tables. If by "two diffferent queries" you actually mean
the same query structure just with different selection criteria then all you
should need to do is change the form's filter, no?

Otherwise changing the RecordSource and then the view from the code of a command
button should work.

Oh, I'm sorry, in my last post I meant to say "2 forms" instead of "2
tables"!

The 2 queries I have not only differ in their filter criteria, but also
in the columns they return. I could do the changing of record-source
with a command button, yes. But my initial idea was, that there might
be an event that's triggered when view is switched between form and
datasheet. apparently there is not?

In the meantime I have solved this with 2 forms, as you proposed.

Thanks,
stephan

I would like to know if the following is possible: I have a form and a subform. In the subform, there are records summarized. (For ex, instead of showing all 19 fields, I only show 3 to save space.) I would like the user to be able to select a record in the subform datasheet, and click a button, or double click, to bring up the ENTIRE record. (I would have a separate form created for this).
