Form -Sub Form relation

aliennav

How are form and subform related to each other.
I have created a form and below it a subform.

When i press ESC key in the header form it works(form gets closed) but if i press ESC key keeping cursor in the subform it doesn' work.Which property relates these two forms.

I don't know what you are expecting to happen, but when you press ESC with your cursor in the subform, the whole thing is supposed to close. There is no property that can change that.

Hi Daniel,

I know what he is expecting, aliennav is expecting to close the form even when the cursor is on the subform, and this happens also, but ofcourse just one single press of esc doesn't work, as it slect the fields in which you are, the next esc quits the form.

I hope this is what Alienav wants.... :-k

That's standard behavior, even without a subform. When you're editing a field value, and you want to revert back to the original value, you can escape back to it. Happens on the main part of form as well, it has nothing to do with subform.

It's not that the sub form gets closed when i press it several times.IT DOES NOT CLOSE even after pressing ESC key several times.But when i move to the header part and press ESC the form(Along with the sub form ) gets closed.

What i have done is::

Created 2 tables(say A &
Created a form(Header part-card type form)
Attached table A with this form
Attached a subform below this form
Attached table B with this sub form.

Open the Sub Form You created in Designer mode, Now Delete the three commands which are placed in the bottom(i.e. OK,Cancel and Help) . Now Your Form will be closed on esc.

Hope this will help
