Subform Filter Problem

L

Laurie

I am attempting to set up a tabbed form, with 2 synchronized combo boxes on
the main form. Each tab (3) will contain a subform with data from a separate
table, with the common data element being used for the main form combo boxes.
The first subform has a filter that is activated via a command button. The
filter works perfectly when I've got the subform open in it's own window.
The filter fails to work, however, when the subform is added to the tabbed
main form (even within itself - no control from the main form). I have not
even added the link to the main form combo boxes as yet.

Any suggestions?

Remember that a tab is a "holster", the form goes in the holster. The tab has
properties. The form has properties. Make sure that the allow filter=yes and
that your filter is showing in the filter properties (go to your form main
properties and click on all.) Then make sure that there is nothing going on
with the "holster" to give you problems.
