I'm currently not talking to my preinstalled version of Access 2003 mostly due to an argument I keep having with it regarding subdatasheets. Also because it has been drinking a lot lately.
I created an indeterminate relationship between two tables; no keys were used, just a Type 1 join between the common fields. When I then open my master table I don't see the plus signs. I know this may not be the best form but I am a beginner. I've said it, let's move on.
Okay...now I open the master datasheet in design view, open Properties and I see [Auto] in the "Subdatashe et Name" field. After the obligatory eye roll I select the foreign table (which I had just joined in the Relationships window, thank you very much) and the Child and Master Fields automatically fill themselves in. Looks good, so I close the Properties box and close the table. A "Do you want to save changes" pop-up appears and I click on "Golly!"
I re-open the master table and still no plus signs; I re-open the Properties box of the master table in design view and "Subdatashe et" is set back to [Auto].
What the?

Is it possible that you have the Indeterminate Relationship reversed for the Datasheet/Sub-Datasheet structure?
Is that important in an indeterminante Type 1 relationship and are you referring to the "Child/Master" fields in the Properties box?
Regarding the "Child/Master" jazz, when I enter the name of the table in the "Subdatashe et Name" field, the child and master fields fill in automatically, only each table has the same name for the fields I am linking so I don't know which is child and which is master. In the Relationships diagram, the tables I've selected under "Table/Query" and "Related Table/Query" seem to be correct, although again I can't figure how polarity would be a factor in Type 1 forms.
My bizarre "solution" to this is to Compact/Repair then to temporarily add the primary and foreign keys to this relationships. After adding the keys, the subdatasheet appears (although the property box still stubbornly reports [Auto]), I delete the keys from the relationship and the subdatasheet/relationship remains. This don't seem write.

Can you Post a subset of the data, the Names and Data Types of the Primary and Foreign Keys, Table Names, etc. I'll reproduce your Database on a smaller scale and find out what the problem is, hopefully. It really cannot be that complicated, and I think an answer will be probable once I have the above requested information.

Hi.
I'm having terrible trouble with a form that displays several
parent/child relationships at one time. It is a sales force hierarchy
- Sales force, district, territory, sales rep are the tables linked in
parent/child relationships.
I'm using a form to choose the main-parent and then several subforms
in datasheet view.

I'm trying to get a subdataSheet embedded on a form which will be displayed
in datasheet view.
I setup the 'record source' for the form to a query on a table. I go into
the query properties and setup a subdatasheet. I test this and it works. I
close the query builder - get prompted to save - reply yes. I reopen the
'record source' and the subdatasheet setting are gone.
Any ideas?

I have access 2002.
I have a query that diplays a subdatasheet ( +/- subtrees are shown on
the record), but when i make a datasheet form out of that query , it
does not display the plus (+) and minus(-) trees.
Q. How do you display a subdatasheet in a datasheet form. Note, i do
not want to display a subform i want to display a subdatasheet. There
are subdatasheet properties on the form under format but they don't do
anything??

I read in this group, that setting the subdatasheet property to for
linked tables is recommended. In my database I have 4 linked tables. They
are all ODBC links to views on a SQL server. I change the table property
from to and save. But when I re-open they are reset to .
Can someone help? I also read that this occurs in Access97, but my database
is Access2000 on W98.
