Linking forms and subforms

MJ
I have a database where, when I put 3 forms on one form they link fine
and auto fill in information as they should; however, when I try to use
the Tab Control form I am having trouble having to re-type information
(it isn't auto filling as it should). Any ideas?

The TabControl should be irrelevent. The MasterLink and ChildLink properties of
the subform *control* is what provides the linking behavior between the subform
and parent.

Hi, i have a form linked to a table. Because it is a very large form, i placed a tab control in it with sub-forms, that correspond to the same table. If i link them with the primary key (autonumber) i get an error on data entry. If i use other fields, they are not unique and the date entered is not stored. how can i solve my problem, so that everything is displayed well and all entries are stored?

I have two subforms on my main form. I want the records on subform B to correspond with the records on subform A which they do. However, I want the records on subform A to let me know if there is a corresponding record on subform B without having to go to subform B to see for myself.

Hi Folks, I have 3 forms I want to link, so that when I advance 1 record in one form it will update the other two with the same record in the first form. I have tried using the form wizard (I am not an Access pro), but when I add the fields of 3 tables the wizard balks. I have been told to use the link master, but it is greyed out when I try linking. I can use Access 2000 or 2003

I have a main form with two subforms. The first subform relates to the main form using an identity key (this works). The second subform relates to both the main and first subform. But I want to be able to move to a record in subform1 and have the corresponding records in subform2. Similar to the Customers Order form in the Northwind db. My problem is getting the second subform to work. The parent-child link is set to subform1. I...

I am using the following code in my TabControl to manage subform loads. The code assigns the subForms SourceObject. - Do I also need code to DeAssign the SourceObject when leaving the Tab, I'm thinking the Table will stay open otherwise ??? - Do I also need to use code to Assign the Child&Master Links, or can I just type the names into the subForms Control Property and just depend on the SourceObject to link to Table???

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
