[AccessD] Create link between unbound mainform and subform

Actually what you do is in the subform link master fields property simply
place the name of the control (text box usually) that contains the data for
the PK of the parent form.  Then place the FIELD NAME of the related FK in
the Link Child Fields form.

You may have to requery the subform when the main form changes, but try just
changing the text field and see what happens.

Subject: [AccessD] Create link between unbound mainform and subform


Hi group,

I'm using A2K. I've got an unbound form (fDetailMI).
On this form I've got a subform (fComments).

The subform is bound to the table tblComments
The mainform is not bound.

How can I link the subform to display the data for the
current record at the main form?

I already tried using a query as a record source for
the subform. The query has a parameter that references
an ID on the main form. Somehow this doesn't work?

Any ideas?

Regards,

SD
