Hi there

My database includes a main form and a tab control which is comprised of
forms on each page.

I have linked the Master Fields of the main form is Student ID and the
StudentID_FK.

When I created all the forms, I was able to print a selected record. I have
a button that will print a record if I choose a selected record.

When I try to print from the tab control, it only prints the main form and
not the information on the subform. How do I get it to print the subform
infomraiton.

Thank you in advance for your help.
 
forest8,
Sounds like you are trying to directly print the form.
While you can do that, it is very limited in scope and functionality,
and not meant to be a replacement for a real "report."
If your subform can display 10 records within in it's size, how could
you
print all the sub records if there were 20 records associated?

Create a report based on your main form table, with associated
subreports based on your subform tables. No matter how many
subform records there are, they will all print out in a subreport.
