Comboboxes in continuous form

[KuaiLe!]

Hello, I have a combobox in a subform. These are two separate records but they have the same information in the subform on the right. I would like to have each member record have their own individual subform data. Would this be possible? Thank you.

Hi. Welcome to AWF!

Did you set up the Master and Child Link Fields properly?

Can you show us this form in design view as well? This is hard to understand from what is visible in this screenshot.

Hi
Welcome to the Forum.
Can you upload a zipped copy of the database?

I am curious of how the OP did this. This looks like a from in continuous view with an embedded subform. This would be very cool if you can do this but AFAIK this cannot be done. You get a some message like "A form with its default view set to continuous cannot have an embedded subform".

I think it might be two embedded subforms, one on the left and another on the right. That's why I want to see the form in design view.

Or even better, upload a sample db :-(

I see that I was tricked. That is not two records in continuous view with a subform next to each record, but actually two separate images posted one on top of the other. Both images are a main form in single form view with a subform. I thought Access had some new capability which would be valuable. AFAIK the best you can do to display a continuous form with an embedded continuous form is a subdatasheet

Opinions on form design

I am curious to see what you all prefer when it comes to form design in regards to forms that have, or could have, multiple subforms. I personally like making smaller subforms their own form as a pop up, but then you lose the ability to do master/child links which can be troublesome. If I have...
