Hi all,

Decided to start a new thread since my initial thread got a bit messy.

Here is my issue, with the help of Duane, I now have a form linked to a subform through the PartId field. The PartId is autonumber and I was expecting that when entering a new record, the subform PartId field would populate automatically? Am I wrong?

How would I be able to pass the autonumber PartsId field on the main form to the subform?

Please advise?
 
Double check the LinkMasterFields and LinkChildFields properties of your linked subform.

Hope This Helps, PH.

PH,

Thanks for your assistance. Please excuse my ignorance, but I can't seem to find the LinkMasterFields and LinkChildFields properties.
 
PH..ignore. i found it. It was on the SubForm properties. Both LinkMasterFields and LinkChildFields are PartId. Is this correct?
