Basic Doubts in Creating Subform

[solargovind]

Hi,

I am New to this forum. I need steps that i do in creating subform.

In main form, i have one table fields like vendor,account, due amount,balance amount and Requisition_id which is autonumber field.

I tried to create subform by using table or that table's form which are having autonumber field and this is to be linked with Mainform autonumber field(requisiti on_id).

But the following errors comes.

"You can't assign value to this object"
-The object may be a control on a read-only form.
-The object may be on a form that is open in Design View.
-The value may be too large for this field.

I checked above three correction, but everything is correct.

Now, i want to be sure in creating subform. So, now my doubt is..

-What are the steps should i follow to create subform?
-What are the condition should be checked?

And, even when i checked in the table, the Autonumber field(Requisiti on_id) should have '+' symbol which shows related information. But, there is no such a symbol. It may be relationship problem. If it is relationship problem, how & where i should create relationship.

Totally, I am embarracing myself with creating Subform.

Hence, Can anybody describe me the use of subform with one small example CLEARLY..?

Thanks in advance.

To create a subform design the form first from the table that the records will be pulled from.

Then open the main form in design view and drag the subform tool on to the form. A wizard will open asking you to chose which form to put in the subform. Chose the one you've just created.

Step through the wizard and it will prompt you for the connection.

Hi,

Thanks for your information. The thing which you told already done in the same way. But shows some errors which i needed to clear.

Anyhow...I found myself the error. The problem is linking the field between main form & subform.

Now its working fine.

Thanks a lot...
