Using frames I can filter records for viewing purposes. I would like,<br>
however, to set a value on the target page based on the source frame. When<br>
adding a new record, the field in the target should be set automatically to<br>
the choice in the source frame. Is this possible? If so, how?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

when I type a FRAME in help I get a reference to a picturebox<br>
what is your definition of a frame?<br>
If you want to have say &quot;clients&quot; on your form and see there &quot;billing details&quot; in a &quot;box&quot; below, this is a &quot;Main Form&quot; with a &quot;Subform&quot; on it. <br>
There are wizards which speed this up the creation of main form, subform dramtically.<br>
You can have at least 2 subforms on a main form.<br>
<br>
So you could see &quot;Clients&quot; they're &quot;Invoices&quot;<br>
and then see each Invoices &quot;details&quot; all on the same form.<br>
<br>
of course you need a 17&quot; monitor and 1024x768 resolution<br>
