Hello:

I have a form with 2 sub forms in/on it. For whatever reason, on both
sub-forms, 1 record on each is active or current ( the right triangle ). Is
there any way to not have a current record selected or active? I guess
there has to be a current record or BOF flag, but some of us are strange
people and I was just wondering if it is possible not to have it.


Thanks

No. If you have a bound form, and it contains records or allows the
addition of a new record, there will always be a current record. That
current record may be the new, blank record, waiting for you to fill
something in, but that record will be considered current.

You could set things up so that the subforms are empty (no records) and
don't allow addition of any records (AllowAdditions = False) until you
decide that you want to allow records to be displayed or added. That
would make the subforms' details sections completely blank until you
change something. Or you could keep the subforms unbound until you have
a use for them.
 
Unless otherwise specified in your code, the first record is always current
in a form on open.
