"Find" in subform (Access 2007)
I have a subform on a main form (created from tables with 1:N relationship).
I need to be able to "find" a record in a subform and have that record and it's parent record show. Documentation in Access Help says that you can only use "find" in the parent form. Has anyone found a way to work around this? -- lighthouse118

"Find" in subform (Access 2007)
Nope. The only records available to search in the subform are the ones that
are related to the main form. You can add an unbound comb box on the main form to do searching using a query with both tables joined. Have the combobox display both the main and sub information. Once you find the item then search the main form. -- KARL DEWEY Build a little - Test a little "lighthouse118" wrote: I have a subform on a main form (created from tables with 1:N relationship).

"Find" in subform (Access 2007)
Thanks Karl. I am trying to make your suggestion work. So far I am not doing
so good, but I will figure it out. Like you say: Build a little - Test a little  -- lighthouse118 "KARL DEWEY" wrote: Nope.

"Find" in subform (Access 2007)
Is there a way to 'goto' the main record when you select the one you want in
the combo box? "KARL DEWEY" wrote: Nope. The only records available to search in the subform are the ones that are related to the main form.
