Filtering Multiple Tabs
I have two tables, both have one similar field. I have created a form for
both, then created another form with tabs and inserted the two original forms onto sub-forms (one on each page), so I can flip between the two forms. I want to filter by form the field that is similar and it to bring up the records in both tabs for that filter. Any ideas?

You can still place those controls for the parent form onto one of the TabPages. That way you have a parent form with a subform which is easier to link since that is how subforms are set up to work. Linking two subforms is possible, but makes it more complicated than it needs to be. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com

RBrandt at Hunter dot com Thanks Rick, that worked a treat. Problem is the parent form takes up the whole page and the sub-form takes up a whole other page. When I add the subform to the bottom of the parent form, I added a page break, but the user has to scroll down to get to the subform when I'd rather make it easier and they tab across instead. Am I able to do this? Or is there an easier way?

I thought you were going to have the main form controls on one TabPage and the subform on a second TabPage. That should result in a form that requires no scrolling. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com
