mike - its not really a true subform in the circumstances you describe - it doesnt change as you move from item to item - it might as well just be another form open on the desktop at the same time, or an unbound combobox or listbox, or a popup available on a button click.
Gemma, agree. Strictly speaking it fails on the "sub" part....although dimensionally it was placed on the screen
under the client data...so under = sub
It had been done this way as opposed to drop downs etc for a couple of reasons. One reason was that it presented in a way that was very similar to how insurance companies suppy such a listing. It also meant the caller did not have to "click" or do anything, just look
When I first saw it my first reaction was why not have some linking based on the clients date of birth and hence only one row would show. But what I had forgotten, as was pointed out to me
was the fellow might ask about cover amounts for his wife. The other issue was the client might have either been right on the edge of an age band or was talking about doing something about cover but "next year" or whatever and where he would be in a different age band.
Although as you say it is not a true subform I wondering if it was applicable to what faz88 is referring to.
