So I'm making a "simple" Fault and Solution system,
When I made the form to add Faults I just put some unbound fields and list boxes onto a form bound to the Parent table and used SQL to insert records into the Child table,
Later when I made the Solution form I used a subform bound to a listbox, this made editing existing records easier but I'm finding it harder to control what Access does when the subform loses focus etc as Access has a load of default behaviour for subforms.
I'm now looking at editing Faults and would probably use a RecordSet to repopulate the unbound fields and SQL to Update the child table and so realised I'd have one form doing it the "Subform" way and one form doing it with VBA and SQL so i wondered which is "best" or recommended at least and people's opinions on both,
Thanks,
