Hi all, hope someone can be of help with this one. Doing a database for a pet minder and have chosen to use linked forms for a more user friendly interface. The problem I have is that when I enter data on the Animal Details subform relative to an owner it is not updating such that when I examine that owners record again the animal details have not been saved. i have enclosed the database please could someone have alook and point out the noob error I am making
Pat, I've got to "fess up". This is a friends database and I posted it as a favour as we have been banging our heads all afternoon on it. I found the "BeforeUpdate" technique from previous posts on this site. i tried it and it was acting up (although i find this fromn time to time with Access) so I set the default value of the control on the linkedform to the value of the matching control on the main form and it works!
