Subform Problems

I have a main form w/ 2 subforms. When I enter data in
the 1st and 2nd subform, they work simutaneously. I
cannot see the information I entered in the 2nd subform
unless I click on the corresponding line on the 1st
subform. How can I get the subforms to work separtely? I
want to be able to veiw the info for each subform
separte. I hope this make sense. Thanks for your help
in advance.

Not real clear on what you are asking but it sounds like if you want the
subforms to show any data, and not just data that "Matches" the main form
then open the form in design view and click on the subform to access the
subform controls properties. Remove the parent, master link field criteria.
Your forms will now work individually. Danger: any information entered in
subform will no longer be associated with the main forms recordsource unless
you enter the value for the field that relates the two records manually.
Dont know if this is clear enough.

Thank you for responding. I am so stuck on this
problem. My two subforms have to work with the main
form, but not each other. When I enter info in my 2nd
subform, I can only see it if I go to the corresponding
line on my 1st subform. I want my subforms to work
independently. I hope I am explaining this right. You
can e-mail me if that would be easier.
