Remember that forms load in reverse order from what you would expect, with the grandchild first, then the child, then the parent. John W.

I settled on two sub-forms and that's going to work well. In the current event of the first sub-form I'll put a requery of the second sub-form, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Because I ran into a problem on the first sub-form which is bound directly to a table and linked to the main form PK/FK. When I add a record to the first sub-form I get a message: "A problem occurred while (application name) was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX control." I click OK and everything carries on successfully. The problem seems to be in the record source for the second form. It is a query that has a parameter that returns a value from public function. I've stepped through the code and the value is returned correctly. I would like to requery this second sub-form in the Current event of the first sub-form. But temporarily I put a Requery into a click event of a button on the second sub-form and it works - displaying all of the records associated with the selected record on the first sub-form. When I delete the second sub-form, or just delete the Record Source for the 2nd sub-form, the error message goes away. The second sub-form is not linked Master/Child because it shows the detail of the record selected on the first sub-form and since they're both continuous I could make the 2nd a sub-form of the 1st. I have only three references - VBA, 11.0 Object Library, and DAO 3.6 Object Library. Compiles cleanly. Decompiled - no change. The main form sub-form have no events. I do not get this error on any other mdb. Does anyone know what could be causing this and/or have a fix for this?

It's often easier to popup a continuous subform from a button rather than embedding it. If you nest at the same level, you pass the key value up to a control on the parent form, and that's the link the other subform uses to filter its records.

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?
