Thank you in advance for your help.

I have a database with one main table (tblPROJECT) left outer joined to 5 child tables by PROJpkey. The main form's control source is tblPROJECT and then there are 5 separate subforms for each of the 5 child tables one of which being tblPROPERTY/frmPROPERTY.

While looking at the main form and one subform, I'd like to be able to filter either of the forms. Currently I can filter the main form just fine but if I go in and filter the subform I end up with all of the main records but only the filtered subform records visible. I have to scroll through all of the main records to see the results of the subform filter.

Is there a simple way to set it up so that the main record is filtered by the subform filter results too. I tried to change the join to 1:1 but didn't seem to see any difference.

Thanks for any recomendations you may have.

Trent
