Form/SubForm with a SubForm
I have a project table, a change order(CO) table and a
change order notes table. Typically, a project has multiple COs and each CO has a number of notes. I need to develop a form that displays: 1. General Project Info(frmProject) - the main form 2. All COs for the project(frmChangeOrders) - CO sub form 3. All notes for each CO(frmChangeOrderNotes) - Notes sub form I would like to have a project form with a spreadsheet type sub-form to display the COs for the selected project. I would like to have a Notes button on the form. If the user clicks on the Notes button, all Notes for the selected CO will be displayed one at a time in a text box like format Can this be done? How? Thanks, Tony |

Form/SubForm with a SubForm
Tony,
One approach to this would be to put both frmChangeOrders form and frmChangeOrderNotes form as subforms on frmProject form. Then, set the LinkMasterFields property of the frmChangeOrderNotes subform to point to the CO primary key field, for example [frmChangeOrders].[Form]![CO_ID]. This way, you wouldn't need a command button on the form, the Notes will automatically be shown for the selected CO record. -- Steve Schapel, Microsoft Access MVP tonyaims wrote: I have a project table, a change order(CO) table and a change order notes table.

How do you put 2 forms as subforms onto a third form?

Form/SubForm with a SubForm
Tony,
The method I generally use to put a subform on a main form, is to arrange my screen display so that I can see the design view of the main form, and also the Database Window, at the same time. And then, in the Database Window find the name of the form you want to use as the subform, and just drag it from the Database Window and drop it in the main form. If you want two subforms, just do this process twice! Then, you need to make sure you have the Link Master Fields and Link Child Fields properties of the subforms set up correctly. -- Steve Schapel, Microsoft Access MVP Tonyaims wrote: Steve, How do you put 2 forms as subforms onto a third form?
