I am trying take an existing Database form, and remove some of the fields and
cteating a sub form that would have worked better if originally set up this
way. When I do it I have the table as the data source and I am unable to
populate the sub form with the data that is already entered. Just the other
fields in the form are visible. I think the main problem might be with the
relationships. They had it set up screwy. Is this where I should start.
Thanks in advance.
 
Generally a subform would have data based on a different table than the main
form. If you are trying to create a subform based on the main forms table,
don't. You gain nothing except headaches. If you have a subform based on a
different table then you must link them via a related field. To do this,
press the right mouse button on the subform (after you have go focus on it)
and then slect Properties. Select build at the right of Link Child Fields
and select the fields that are related.
