[AccessD] Tree View Control

Thanks Stuart.  
I agree, I probably don't want to use the Tree View control.  I'm using
linked forms, but I'd like for the child data to display directly
underneath the parent record on the continuous form.  Placing the child
data in the form footer is a nice concept, but displays too far down on
the form.
Again, what I hope to do is make the data display a certain way.  If
there isn't a clean way of doing it, I have no problem using one of your
suggestions.

Thanks again.

If you need to update child records, I would not try to use a treeview,
I 
would use linked forms 

Depending on the visual requirements you can do either of the following:

1.
A continuous form (frmsubDetails) in the form_footer of your Accounts
form 
with its parent set to the key field in the main form.

2.
An unbound main form with two sub forms side by side.
A continous subform (frmsubAccounts) on the left which lists all of the 
accounts.
A hidden text box (txtAccountLink) with a control source of 
"=frmSubAccounts.Key"
A continuous subform (frmsubDetails) on the right containing the detail 
records.
Set the Parent Field of frmsubDetails to "txtAccountLink"

In either case, when you click on an Account record, the appropriate 
records will be displayed in frmsubDetails and can be edited.
