Join forms

P

PeterG

This is a terribly basic question, with an answer probably staring me in the
face: but I have not yet figured it out:
I created two simple forms, one that sits within the other.
The main one (Form A) lists a topic, a date, and a comment field for an
extened report.
The other form (Form B) sits within the above form, and includes a line for
a source, a date, and a comment field for the source.
I want to be able to inlcude more than one source (Form B) within each main
form (Form A) field. I assume this has something to do with joining forms.
But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to join them. When I attempt
to use the relationships table, I can never get more than a single Form B to
appear; any additional sorces and notes on Form B disappear.
Any help would be appreciated.

If your inner form (B) is set up in single view then it will only show one
record at a time, but you should be able to use the navigation buttons on the
inner form to add and see more records. That assumes you have not turned the
navigation buttons off on the inner form.

Alternatively you can set the inner form to be shown in continuous view and then
you will see as many records as the height of the form will allow and you can
scroll vertically to see others.
