I have made a form with several subforms in Access 97. The problem is that when i try to type in data in one of the subforms I get the message:

"You can't assign a value to this object.

* The object may be a control in a read-only form
* The object may be on a form that is open in Design view
* The value may be to large for this field"

If I then click ok to this message, I can write data to the fields. The data will be saved to the underlying (the child) table, but the data the child field contains won't show up in the masterfield in the table that the form is build upon.

The two fields are linked, so what is the problem???
 
Hi!

Subform's fields which are linked to main form update automaticaly. Therefore when you try to updete these fields occur error messages.
