Pause Subform
Hi,
I have a main form with a bunch of subforms. Each subform is built on its own query. Each subform has a combo box that is bound to a field in the query. What happens is that if I change a value in one combo box (in one subform) then go to a control in another subform, the first subform already commits to the table! The value is saved. If I hit ESC, the new value is still there. I want to have a SAVE button and CANCEL button at the bottom of the main form, so the user can undo all their changes to the main form and all the subforms. How can I do that if the subform already committed the changed value? Thanks!! John Schping

Pause Subform
It may take changing the design of the form. When you move the focus from the
MainForm to a SubForm, the mainForm *will* save a Dirty Record. The same thing happens in the reverse direction. When you move the focus off of a SubForm, it *will* save a Dirty record. jschping wrote: Hi, I have a main form with a bunch of subforms. Each subform is built on its own query.

Pause Subform
Hi,
How would you suggest redesigning the form? I have separate queries for each subform since I'm working with related tables, and one-to-many relationships. I can't put it all in one form, unless I am missing something. Please help! Thanks so much, John Schping "ruralguy via AccessMonster.com" wrote: It may take changing the design of the form.

I don't really know. Undoing the changes done in a SubForm can get real
tricky. It would be better to design the form(s) in such a way that the undo became unnecessary or was more simplified. jschping wrote: Hi, How would you suggest redesigning the form?
