Oct 23, 2017 · Still another solution would involve migrating all separate forms as subforms into one main form, so all corresponding records align at same time. But normally, subforms are reserved for join tables and not same table record sources. You can use tabs if space is an issue.

If you have a long multiple-item form, sometimes you want to quickly “drill down” to see more information about a single item. You can do this in Access by linking the multiple-item form to a single-item form. When you click an item in the multiple-item form, the single-item form opens to show the details.
Notes:
In most cases, the two forms in a drill-down configuration are based on the same table or query. If you already have a pair of forms you want to use (one being a datasheet or multiple item form, and the other being a single-item or “detail” form), you can skip this section. Otherwise, use these procedures to create them:
Now to add a little macro to the multiple-item or datasheet form. The macro opens the detail form and makes sure the correct item is displayed.
Don’t worry if you haven’t done much work with macros; you can just copy and paste the XML that you’ll find in this procedure.
1.If you’re using a datasheet form, double-click it in the Navigation Pane to open it. For a multiple-item form, right-click it in the Navigation Pane and then click Layout View.
2.Press F4 to open the Property Sheet if it’s not already open.
3.Click the column that you want to add the macro to. This will be the column that you click to open the detail form when the macro is finished. In the picture above, the macro is added to the ID column of frmContactList.
1.On the Event tab of the Property Sheet, click in the On Click or On Dbl Click property box (depending on whether you want the form to open by single-clicking or double-clicking the field), and then click the Build button .
To create a form/subform combination and link them together, see Create a form that contains a subform (a one-to-many form).
To create a form that is linked to a data source such as a table or query, see Create a form by using the Form tool.
Mar 22, 2021 · The before change event in the sub form does not fire unless you made changes to that one row. So you can go: me.Parent.form!PONum = "some new number". It is not clear if you only want ONE change for multiple change (s) in the sub form, or you want to do this for "many" changes in one given go.
Aug 1, 2006 · You CANNOT bind a single form to multiple tables. Access does not allow this. You must bind forms that touch multiple tables via one of a few strategies. * You can build a JOIN query to link the two tables, but see discussion below about dependency issues.
Mar 23, 2021 · If you need to work with the data from multiple tables then you would create subforms or the alternative is to create an unbound form and code everything behind the scenes (which defeats the whole purpose of using Access!).
You can use a query to supply data to a form or report in Access. You can use a query when you create the form or report, or you can change an existing form or report by setting its Record Source property.
When you include multiple data sources in an Access query, you use joins to limit the records that you want to see, based on how the data sources are related to each other. You also use joins to combine records from both data sources, so that each pair of records from the sources becomes one record in the query results.
