Parent and Child forms same table
Robert Maddox

Question regarding Input Forms.
Can a "Parent-Form & "Sub-Form" relate to the same table? During data entry I want the "Employee" to remain unchanged, The "Date" would remain constant for a group of data entries (typ. 4-10 entries) then be changed. The other entry items would be on the "Sub-Form". I appreciate your input.



Reply from Richard Rost:

Yes, you should be able to do it. If you have a table with SELF-JOINS then you could have the parent form be "parents" and the child form "children" and both forms are bound to the PeopleT table. You would just need to specify the right join field for the subform, which would be the ParentID field. If all you want to do is set a default value for several records, you might not need to use a subform. You can probably just get away with a continuous form and a field in the form header or footer. See THIS TUTORIAL for details.
