Hi all,
In our work DB I want to be able to link 2 continous forms together using an ID.
So far I have created both the forms and made them continous forms. I then opened a blank form and inserted both the forms as individual subforms. However I need to link both these forms together.
It has be suggested that I link them manually, but I don't know how to do it. I have limited access programming knowledge.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank,
Ken

In your form design view, look at the properties, and under the Data tab, it will say Link Child Fields and Link Master Fields. Click on each of those to link the forms by the ID. Since you're using a one main form, the ID will need to be on the main form as well as both subforms. If you're not wanting it visible on each of them, set the property Visible to No. You will be linking the subforms to the main form using this method.
Thankyou for getting back to me.
How do I put the ID onto the blank form?
Do I create a text box and name it ID?
I'm just not sure how to do this.
many thanks,
Ken

You're gonna have to have your main form bound to a query or table. You can create a simple query that includes any/all fields that you want displayed on your main form, including the ID field. Once that query is created, bound your main form to it, and then to add the ID field to the main form, you can select it from the Field list and drag it into place onto your form.

I have a form that shows burglar alarm permits. I have a subform that

create an alarm type field and add an additional subform so that
burglar alarms appear in the first subform, and panic alarms appear in
the second subform. I tried...

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?

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

Hi,
I have created a main form with 2 subforms,
Both subforms are in datasheet view.
I want to be able to pick a record from subform1 and the corresponding
linked record (created by a 1-to-many relationship) will show up in
subform2.

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???
