One to Many relationship
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a subform on
a form such that the ONE TO MANY relationship checks on two sets of related fields.eg where you have families with children and the father is the related link and there is more than one father named for example John, but the wife of each John has a different name |

I would, however, NOT recommend ever using people's names as linking fields. There are many people named John (I'm one); there are even multiple people named John Vinson (I met one in a local garage, I was waiting to pick up my car and the owner called out "John Vinson's car is ready" and a tourist passing through said "that was quick, I just drove in!") You should have some sort of unique personID and link on it. John W. Vinson[MVP] Come for live chats every Tuesday and Thursday http://go.compuserve.com/msdevapps?loc=us&access=public |
