Hi,

I have a main form, 1 subform depending on the main form and a second subform depending on the first subform.
How can I show the correct data in the second subform when I select an other record in de first subform ?

main form : all my machines
subform 1 : all the tasks of my machine
subform 2 : all the information when a task is executed

If I choose another task of the same machine, subform 2 must display the correct information.

Thx,

    As far as i know, a subform can be any form, even a form that has a subform itself. So make a form for your tasks and taskinformation, and use THAT form as a subform in your machine form.

    Mberger, I've already tried to do that but a subform cannot be started within a subform !

    Per default a Subform can't contain a other subform.
    so what you need. you create 3 forms.

    The 1st is the Mainform wit 2 Containers for the 2 subforms
    The 2nd is the form for subform A
    the 3rd is the form for Subform B

    Now the trick (is also here explained in the forum search for it).
    If you select a rec on mainform you update also Suibform A und B (thats no problem)
    If you select a rec on Subform A you send back the information to Mainform (viewtopic.php?f=23&t=22564&hilit=subform) per XMLDom or Timer (timer is not so good in my eyes) and from there to the SubForm B and update then Subform B.

    Regards
    Do you make it right, it works too!

    Sorry for question but i'm completly blocked....

    1 main form (order), and 2 subform.: 1 is sales line and other is Item list. I want that when i move up and down sales line, in 2nd subform, item included in sales line is highlight (it doesn't matter how. I mean, i know how).

    so i use XML to call form subform to main form, and then i call function at 2nd subform to find that record and update.
    But i get an error or item list doesn't move.

    Any suggestions??

    regards.

    Nice, but are the modifications by the user then not lost with Currform.UPDATE(False)?
    Create dynamic Excel or Word documents, ReportX
