Linked forms

[RobertJohn]

Hi all

When I try to create a form with a subform the wizard gives me the option of a "form with a subform" or "linked forms". I can't find any explanation about linked forms in the Help files. What are they and when should they be used, please?

if you have a table of employees, and another showing weekly pay records for employees, then the two tables are linked

you can have a main form with your employees, and another showing the pay for the employees week by week - if the pay form is included as a subform, then it will autmatically be linked to the main emloyees form

--------
another example is CD Titles/Detailed Track Lists - I am sure this is an example of this shipped with Access

Thanks

I understand that, but the Wizard seems to regard subforms and linked forms as something different. That's where I am having trouble.
