Hi.

Sounds like you are referring to the LinkChildFields problem with subforms
in Access 2003. Please read the following post from Allen Browne (Access
MVP) on the subject, his example, and how to avoid the problem:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.access.formscoding/msg/043b07254c30f770?hl=en&

And to avoid other problems, make sure that the Name AutoCorrect option is
turned off for all of your databases:

There's another issue where 2003 seems to be more pedantic about including
the ".Form" bit when referrring to controls in the subform.

If you're not sure what the .Form means, see:
