Subforms and command buttons
Is it possible to access all your subforms through command buttons from the
main form? Or is this not something which is normally done?

Define "access all your subforms".....? What does that mean?

Subforms and command buttons
All I mean is this: is it possible to open the subform from a command button
rather than have it as, say, a datasheet on the main form? I just thought it might help to do this if there was not enough space on the main form - and you didn't want to use tabs.

Subforms and command buttons
You can open a form from a command button, but it will not be "linked" (as a
subform would be) to the first form. So that likely defeats the intent that you have. By definition, a subform is related to the data on the main form; opening it separately means that you must build all your own code to make it related to the main form, instead of letting ACCESS' builtin design do it for you. -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP "C Tate" wrote in message ...
