Are you looking at the properties of the Subform Control (the box on the
mainform containing the subform) or the properties of the Form object inside that control (the latter is where you want to be)? Bingo. that was it

its me again
just so you know i'm almost there. was asked to add additional items which was easy since i was using relationships. newest issues since adding more fields/tables... -when i add record to tblStudentSubject it overwrites existing record instead of appending? -how do i reset cbo to blank upon exit or enter...the last items selected default to the cbo's when i reopen.

purpose of subform?
i found my problem...didnt realize subform was displaying multiple records,
kept changing same record which is why the overwriting was occurring but that leads me ... how do i make the blank record default to the subform so other teachers dont/cant change previous selections? or will the db splitter ensure previous records cannot be altered?

Sounds like you may have the combo box unbound. As a rule the combo should show the value that's actually in the table; you need to navigate to the blank "new record" to add a new record! -- John W.

-that was it -how can i get the subform to default to a new record when the program opens? -since all records in the table are present in the subform, what's to prevent a user from changing an existing record? thx.

Splitting will NOT permanently lock records... and as a rule you wouldn't want to do so! Do your teachers never make mistakes and need to correct an entry which was made previously!? You can set the subform's Data Entry property to True; this will let you enter new records but not even *see* old ones. Or, you can set the form's Allow Additions property to Yes but Allow Edits to No to display old records but prohibit adding new ones. I'd really recommend using a Continuous Form for the subform, and make it big enough that you can see the blank new record at the bottom; or you can put some VBA code in the subform's Open event to navigate to the new record: click the ... icon by the Open event property on the form and choose Code Builder, and edit it to Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel as Integer) DoCmd.GoToRecord, , acNewRecord End Sub -- John W.

john,
i click new record and when i select a student from the cbo i get the following dialog box: "The object doesnt contain the Automation object StudentID..." which only started happening after i rebuilt my subform using new tables/fields, any idea what's the cause of this?

What's the Recordsource for the subform (post the SQL)? What's the Control Source of the combo? My guess is that the combo has a control source that is not a fieldname in the new table. -- John W.
