Subformss, Tab Controls, and Forms
Hello
I am creating a case management database. I have created a Main form called Participants. There are several themes which must be completed for each participant: Personal Information, Personal Assessment, Personal Plans, Notes, and Other. I thought of using a tab control for each theme. I want to create subforms for each theme. That is, for the Personal Information tab, I want to create subforms for each subject area, etc. I read on this board that you can't but a tab control within a tab control, but you can create subforms that would individually contain a tab control. The issue is not creating the subform but I get the message "Can't build a link between unbound forms". The SourceObject is set to the name of my subform. On this form, I have a form control with 2 tabs for each of my forms. How do I get this to link to the master (i.e. main) form? Thank you in advance for your help. |

Subformss, Tab Controls, and Forms
Unbound forms have no record source.
Is your main form based on a query and has that query as its record source? Is your subform based on a query and has that query as its record source? If the query for the main form is based on a table for participants, the subform's record source query should be based on a table that is related 1-to-many to the table for the main form.
