Keeping sub-forms linked?

Hello,

I am creating a data entry form for accidents and other types of unusual
incidents. I already have a form for the initial incident entry. I am now
trying to create a form that will list all incident data plus a sub-form that
displays all the follow-up detail that goes with each initial incident.

I seem to be almost there save one issue:
At the very top of the form I have a drop-down that allow me to choose the
incident. When I do this it also brings up the follow-ups in the subform
however if I go to use the drop down to display another incident, the subform
still displays the follow-up data from the first incident. How do I get the
subform to always reflect the incident # pulled from the drop down?

Thanks,
YYY
 
Hi Karl,

Thanks for your quick response.

OK, I understand what you're saying however I do not know how to adjust or
verify the master/child links. Can you tell me how to access that data?

Thanks,
yyy
 
Open the main form in design view. Click on menu VIEW - Properties.
Move the cursor to the very upper left corner of the subform and click.
The name displayed will be the subforms Name, Source Object, and the
Master/Child links.
