Unbound continuous subform

[ishtiaque]

Dear

I have a sub form and the columns are unbound. When I open it independently
it shows several rows but when I open it with a main form it only shows one
row. I need four rows to show/entry four items/record for a single entry of
the main form. There is enough space to show at least four rows in the sub
form.

Do someone has any solution on this?

regards,

That's not going to work.

You can create a form with 4 rows of text boxes that simulates a continuous
subform.

You cannot create an unbound continuous form that shows different records in
the Detail section on different rows.

Thanks a lot. I would rather use a bound continuous subform.

Well do so then! In your original post you said your controls were
*un*bound.

If you have a bound continuous form which shows multiple records when opened
stand-alone, but only one record when used as a sub-form, then presumably
only one subform record matches the criteria you have used to link the
subform to the main form.

To achieve a kind of unbound continuous form: Where an application is split
and each user has their own local front-end (as all multi-user apps should
be set up) it's perfectly possible to build and populate a table in the
*front* end and to bind a continuous form or datasheet to it.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
