Nested tabbed forms

[Carrie]

My database is designed for entering data requests. There are fields to be
answered for every request taken and then, depending on the type of data,
certain other questions may be asked.

In order to save space, I created tabbed forms and nested other tabbed forms
in them via subforms. I did this so that some questions could be sort of
"hidden" from the main form and could be viewed only if a particular record
needed to ask those questions.

My problem is that using tabbed forms via subforms does not link the answers
to those questions to that particular record. How can I have some questions
viewable only for certain records and not all the time? Or how can I link the
answers in the subforms to the record in the main form?

Thanks so much for your time.

Subform records are linked to the record in the parent form via the MasterLink
and ChildLink properties of the subform control. Whether the subforms are
embedded in TabPages matters not one iota.
