Any >help would be greatly appreciated. Having just played with this a bit in 3.5: you must first create both the main form and the sub-form independently. Then, in the main form, you choose Multi/Table and indicate which sub-form and where. It requires that the sub-form's table be keyed and that the key relate to a field on the main form. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ : Steven List @ Transact Software, Inc. :^>~ : : Chairman, Unify User Group of Northern California : : {apple,coherent,limbo,mips,pyramid,ubvax}!itkin@guinan.Transact.COM :
