I am getting back to access after a while. I am using 2003. I am trying to
filter a subforms recordset based off another subforms recordset. Basically,
i have one big form, and then I have 3 subforms on it. One subform 1, I have
continuous forms listing of my work centers. I want to click on a particular
workcenter, and have subform 2 only display the names of people assigned to
that workcenter. Then, i want to click on the person in subform 2 and have
subform 3 pull up that specifics person info. Additionally, and i am not
sure if this is possible, when i click on the work centers on subform 1, and
filter the list on subform 2, i would like subform 3 to filter its recordset
as well, since that is where i do my input of info. Obviously, i have the
names field and workcenter fields on all applicable forms, whether visible or
not. Any help on this would be great, thanks.

The standard way to filter one subform to match a record in
another subform is to use the Link Master/Child properties
on the second subform control.

Use a hidden main form text box (named txtLinkWC) as the
Link Master. Set the text box's value in the first
subform's Current event:
Parent.txtLinkWC = Me.thelinkingfield
