How does the table know who the record is for when running reports?
For example the ContractsAndHours subform was created from the
ContractsAndHours table. If I do a query on the ContractsAndHours table
information and there is no name field how do I sort by employee name?

Thanks for the reply it is very much appreciated.

I have a form called ContractsIn which has a subform called
ContractsInAndHours.
The main part of the form consists of:
Employees.ID
Employees.Name

The subform has the fields:
ContractsAndHours.ID
ContractsAndHours.Name
ContractsAndHours.DailyHoursWorked
ContractsAndHours.ContractOut

This form is used by the supervisor to enter the hours worked and the
contracts in for each day.
When entering hours and contracts for each employee I would like the Name
field in the subform automatically filled in with the name in the main
form
when entering through the field.

Can this be accomplished?
