main form + 3 subforms / manual forms linking

2 New Member
I have 4 hierarchical tables and want to display it all together as a form and 3 subforms, when subform displays (and allow to add/edit) only relevant items from each superior subform.

Tables are:
Clients --> linked thru id_client --> Orders --> linked thru id_order --> Licences --> linked thru id_licence --> Regkeys

Access' Form Wizard allows only form + 2 subforms. I tried to create last subform and its link manually, but I'm not successful.

2nd subform (Orders) is linked by:

Link Child Fields: id_client
Link Master Fields: id_client

3rd subform (Licences) is linked by
Link Child Fields: id_order
Link Master Fields: [order Subform].Form![id_order]

which is generated by Access and works satisfyingly. I tried to link last subform (Regkeys) analogically as:

Link Child Fields: id_licence
Link Master Fields: [licence Subform].Form![id_licence]

but it doesn't work and all records are displayed instead of relevant.

Only solution that works is to use subform which is form with 2 subforms, but I'd like other solution.

Any advices? Thanks ahead.

As far as I know the maximum of nested subforms is two. However, try this.

Open the licences subform on its own in design view and try using the wizard to add the last subform. This should work. whether the main form will now work with 3 nested subforms I don't know.

Problem solved :-)

I copied and modified linking between 3rd and 4th table (as described before), but miss VB code on Current event (for Licences subform, which on Current event refreshes subordinate subform Regkeys), which should be copied and modified analogically. This code makes requery operation which ensure relevant records in last subform.

Solution you propose will probably work (I tried complete nesting: one form + one subform, where subform is form + subform again...etc), but I don't like this aesthetically ;-)

Anyway thanks for your answer, I "entertaine d" myself with this problem all yesterday without solution.

Hi there, I have a form to organize bottles in mind, but am unsure if it will work. Here's some background info: Mainform = frmProduct, which contains fields for pricing, status, etc. of complete bottles, as well as an image control for a thumbnail of a complete product (bottle + cap). The mainform has 2 subforms that must be visible and side-by-side:

It's a form, with (so far) 4 tab pages on it, each of which holds 2/3/4 subforms. (I like tabbed forms by the way - do we all?) Basically the subforms are different ways of looking at the data. It's the orchestral management thing still. So tab 1 looks at each musician, the events they're booked onto, which jobs they're doing etc.

Hi, I have two very similar forms each with a subform. The main form gets a few fields from the user and passes this back to a query that the subform is bound to. The requery is done when the user enters the last qualifying field on the main form. In one case this works fine, the subform shows the data the user wants to update -- which means showing all the data put in previously (ie showing this via the requery and the continuous...

Hello, I created a main form with 2 subforms. In an attempt to move to the next record (or new record) on the main form I get the error " Method 'requery' of object '_Subform' failed".

The subform that links fine is a comments form (continuous form with just date field and memo box) and the subform that won't link is a larger, more detailed form where I would like to add more than one...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
