Hi,
I have a form that contains many tabs, one of which is a subform, which itself contains 3 more subforms. As you may expect, an error occurs if the user creates a new record and goes directly in the subform (or one of the 3 sub-sub-form) to enter data, since the parent record is not created yet.
What's the "best practice" to avoid that problem? Save the record (form+subform) as soon as the user hits new record? That would work in my case, but since filling the subform is optional and not required for every record, i feel that I would be wasting not-so precious disk space, but you get the idea...
Thanks for your suggestions!
