Subform question
I have a form (Form1) that contains a subform (Subform1).
Within this subform I have a combo box which, depending on what is chosen, pops up another form (Popup1)for additional information. I need this additional information in the form that pops up to be 'linked' with the subform. The problem I am running into is that when the user enters information in Popup1, the table has not been populated witht he data that is in the subform so there is no record to 'link' to. What is the best way to force te esubform to pass its information to the table? Thanks in advance

Subform question
Chad
It all starts with the data ... and you're describing forms ... Where are you keeping your data? In the same Access file as the forms? In a "split" Access ("back-end") file? In a SQL-Server database? In the first two situations, I believe that as soon as you "dirty" the subform record, you are writing to the table behind the subform. Note that this is based on two assumptions: 1) your subform is bound to an underlying table/query; 2) the combobox that pops up the additional form is NOT the first field used on the subform. You haven't described your data and structure. If you provide a bit more specific description, folks here may be able to offer a bit more specific suggestions. Good luck!
