In reply to Post no 3, I get the error message "Windows cannot find msaccess/safe". As far as messing around with the registry is concerned, I am not confident enough to do so.

ions: thanks for the suggestion, but it does not cover the situation where several child tables are linked to the parent table by the same key. Because I cannot find the property sheet for the parent, I appear to be permitted to open only one of the subdatasheets.

ions - I have Access 2010, up-graded from 2007. The mystery thickens

ions: continuing - I haven't found it.

ions: unfortunately it, whatever you mean by "it", is not in the general tab. See the screenshot in post no 18 in this thread.

Still no cigar. I get a variety of items listed, depending on the data type of the field concerned. For example, for the primary key I get the items listed in Post no 7. None of the property sheets list the Subdatasheet name, as in your post no 6.

Outside of the norm, maybe, but therefore impossible? How can I achieve what I want?

AccessBlaster: ContactID is the join for all the subdatasheets. Access does indeed ask for a choice when opening a subdatasheet for the first time, but thereafter that is the only choice available. That is precisely my problem. I wish to be able to make the choice each time I carry out some data...

spikepl: Rh side of which screen? See JMB's screenshot. And I see no inconsistency in my namimg of fileds.

And here that for Accessblaster

Here is the screen shot for JHB

I would if I knew how to post a screen shot into a reply to this thread, but I don't. I am having the same issue with JHB

Following those exact steps, all I get is the "General" tab, as before. I'd show it to you if I could work out to paste a copy into this thread.

I think there must be a communication issue. Following your instructions, all I get is the tables "General" tab, which contains nothing of relevance.

You've lost me now. The only table property sheet that I can find only has a "General" tab. Where do I find the one you illustrate?

Thanks, but no cigar. The property sheet for the main table only lists Field size, New values, Format, Caption, Indexed, Smart tags and Text align. I am using Access 2010, in case that is relevant. Incidentally, as a side issue, I fail to understand the preference for forms. I am perfectly...

Sorry - I should have written "left-hand side", not right-hand side. More haste, less speed.

I can't have made myself clear - nothing new there! I should have referred to tables rather than forms. After I have related the parent table to several other tables , using the primary key in the parent table for the joins in all cases, the "+"-symbol appears on the extreme right-hand side of...

I am setting up a database that is constructed of a main form related to several other forms via the same primary key in the main form. However, when I click on the +-symbol in the main form for the first time, I am asked which related form to select, and thereafter the connection is limited to...
