Split form in subform
Anyone know if this is a bug: I put a split form in a subform. When the
subform opens, the split form only opens in single form view. And the datasheet is nowhere to be found. This holds true whether I try to place the datasheet at the top or bottom of the form. If I open the subform by itself, then the split form works properly. I have seen questions posted elsewhere on the internet without an answer. Thanks, Burnsie |

Split form in subform
No it's not a bug it's just not possible to put a splitfor as a subform on a
mainform. It's meant to be used as a main form. You could try to mimic it yourself though by adding two subforms to the main form with one set to single form and the other one in datasheet view. Set the master child field the same and you should have the same effect. hth -- Maurice Ausum "Burnsie" wrote: Anyone know if this is a bug: I put a split form in a subform.

I was guessing that would be the answer and solution. No problem creating
the two subforms. No since in doing extra work if it wasn't necessary. Thanks, Burnsie "Maurice" wrote: No it's not a bug it's just not possible to put a splitfor as a subform on a mainform.

Split form in subform
Although I know this post is almost a year old, I wanted to see if it was
possible to touch up on this subject again, because I too have attempted to create 2 separate subforms and link the two by setting the master child field, but when I did this, I was constantly asked to input the criteria for the master child field. I.e. I linked the Master Field to an ID field, so that when I select the ID in a datasheet, the simple form will update dynamically. However, whenever I select an ID in the datasheet form, it requests to enter the ID that I'm looking for, similar to a query. Would anyone have the solution to this problem? Thanks for your help in advance. Gene. "Maurice" wrote: No it's not a bug it's just not possible to put a splitfor as a subform on a mainform. It's meant to be used as a main form.
