Hello all. So I have a main form and a subform. Long story short, I do not want to allow the main form record to be submitted unless there is at least one subform entry.
Initially I thought it would be as simple as a "Before Update" event which would test the record count of the subform. This works... kind of... not really. It does check successfully, however the conundrum is that if the user has completed the main form and tries clicking INTO the subform to add records, this fires the Before Update event and Cancels the update event.
How can I force a user to complete the subform without running into this issue? I dunno how easy this is to do considering you kind of HAVE to exit the main form to enter the subform, at which point the record HAS to be saved...
