or more invoices. on my form i have a subform for customers and one
subform for invoices. both subforms are in datasheet view. if i click
on customer A in the customer subform i want the invoice subform to
show only invoices for customer A and at the same time allow me to add
invoices for customer A. what are the steps to accomplish this?

listed together with all customer A's invoices followed by customer B
and so on. how can this be accomplished?

I have a form that shows burglar alarm permits. I have a subform that shows the alarms that have occurred at the location of the permit (linked by permit number). There is a different fine schedule for false alarms for burglar alarms vs. panic alarms. I thought I could just 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?

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 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 "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
