Losing subforms when exporting form to another database

[Takstein]

Hi!


I have a database where i want two editoins; one for the users and one for the managers. With the users one i started with a blank database and just exported the forms i wanted from the main database. The problem is however that the forms subforms does not "tag along"! So in the new database i get the error that the forms subform might be mispelled or is not there.

Does anyone have a quick fix for this?

No. Queries don't tag along either. The best solution is to maintain a single version. Multiple versions is fraught with danger.

Add a login form and make use of that to display a menu geared to one group or the other. As long as your app is controlled by forms, users won't see things they shouldn't get to.

Hi and thanks for the reply!

Yes, i heard that from several people. So what i did was use the environ() function and an accesslevel field in the database to tailor the setups!
