Updating SubForm From Text field
I have never taken classes. I am self tought, so if I do not get the verbiage
right I apoligize. I have a form with a subform. On the main form I have a text field. The subform is bound to a query. What I would like is to input critera in the text field on the main form and then push and button to update the subform. What would be the best path for the end result? Any suggestion would help. Everything I have tried has failed. Thanks for your time.

Arvin has a good point. My question is why not let the user update the
SubForm directly? Jesse wrote: I have never taken classes. I am self tought, so if I do not get the verbiage right I apoligize. I have a form with a subform. On the main form I have a text field.

Everything I have tried has failed. Thanks for your time. The user is not updating the subform. The query that the subform is looking at is linked to tables that can not be updated. What I was looking for is to be able to insert specific critera in the text field. Then when the command is clicked it will run the query based of the text field information. The subform will just reflect what the query runs. -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...forms/200904/1
