[AccessD] Continuous form on a continuous form

Rocky,

Sure you can do it - it's called SubDatasheets - introduced in A2K.

Both the parent and sub forms must have their Default View set to Datasheet.
On the SubForm control, you link Child and Master fields just like any
other. The parent datasheet can be a subform as well. You can nest
subdatasheets at up to 8 deep.

What you get is a tree-like hierarchy where you can expand the subdata by
clicking on the + next to the parent record.

As long as you are willing to live with the Datasheet view, this solution
fits the bill.

So if I don't really like this client then this is the design I'm looking
for?
