Linked Subform Field Using SharePoint Lists as Data Source

[jaaret]

Okay, when I'm using Access tables as data sources for subforms, I don't recall having to have the field actually populated into the form to use it as the slave link, it just needs to be in the underlying data source. I just discovered if I'm using SharePoint lists I appear to need to have the field in the subform for it to be recognized - it can't just be in the underlying data source (the SharePoint list).

Is this correct or am having random synaps misfirings in my brain?

Yes for the most part you do not need it on the form itself only in the underlying datasource.However there are cases you need it on the form. I think if you include the field on the form and then delete the control, but keep the field it may not work. Also if you load the recordsource dynamically it may not work.

However, I do not now about Sharepoint lists.
