Nested Continuous Forms Alternative?

[Cavman]

Morning!

I'm really hoping someone can help! I'm trying to achieve the effect of having 2 nested continuous subforms (see the graphic) which doesn't seem to be possible currently. I need the form to cascade down by date and then by each Temp name on that date. Can anyone suggest how I can achieve this? I've run out of ideas!

Thanks!

Use a Single Form as the container with subformcontrols for each ContinuousForm.

Add textboxes to the main form and set them up with a ControlSource pointing to what would be the MasterLinkFields in a normal subform arrangement.

Make these textboxes the MasterLinkFields in the subformcontrols.

BTW Although it is possible to point the MasterLinkFields directly to another subform this can lead to problems on loading. The textboxes avoid this issue.

Hi, thanks for replying!

So, I'm not quite sure if I'm following your line of thinking. Which part on my graphic would be in the continuous form, and which part would the textboxes be?

Thanks,

Simon

Have you not got 3 nested subforms, rather than 2?

If not, I think that is the suggestion. Have a blank container form, and add 3 subforms to the container.
