Ok ive been having this sort of problem for a while. Ive been trying to display updatable and non updatable data in a datasheet form. The problem is that i couldnt update any of the details with a calculated field in the table. Therefore i have put the calculated field in a subform thanks to...

If I switch my form to form view to display the records referencing the subfomr field works fine but then when i put it to datasheet view i get #Error maybe as the subform does not get displayed. But basically it doesnt work.
