I have dealt with similar situations like this: Put a field in the master subform that is a list of the subform fields. This is non updatable at this level and it gets updated using code after the sub-sub form has been updated. When the form is where an update happens, I add a button to go to the sub-sub form as a modal popup.

So I'm trying to find a way around this. The form tracks incoming shipments. The main form is single form showing the shipment info in the header. Each shipment can have more than one purchase order. So the purchase orders are listed in the detail section. Form is continuous. So far so good. However, each purchase order can have several lots. And for each P.O. added to the shipment the client wants to see all the lots attached to that PO. The lots and purchase orders are already in the tables. They're going to create the shipment last (this incoming shipment thing is an add-on to the existing legacy system). So the user creates a new incoming shipment and adds existing purchase orders (incoming shipment POs are in a table with the shipment table PK as the FK) . So I've got the purchase orders displaying in a continuous form. But for each P.O. the client wants to see all the lots attached to that PO. So I think, OK, subform of lots (lots have the PO number as a field) linking the selected PO numbers to the lots. Subform in a subform. But no-go. So, how does one finesse this?
