Question How to make Mainform field required to enter data into subforms

[farey]

I need to make my mainform fields required before any data can be entered into subforms. Mainform and Subforms are linked with LinkMaster Child ID. This should only be applied in this form. Would appreciate some assistance. Many thanks in advance

I would divide your problem into two parts.

The first part would be validating your main form.

The second part just simply enabling subform window. ( the correct term for the subform window is subform/subreport control)

Yes I know the concept. But since I am new to access, I am looking for some codes.

Search this forum (AWF) for examples on "form validation". I think you should be able to find something. If you can't then I'm sure someone will point you in the right direction.
