same subform used in two different forms
in [Form]

From: Kathy R. on 2 Mar 2010 18:26 Hi Folks, Is it possible to use the same subform in two different main forms simultaneously? If it's possible, is it good practice? I can foresee that there may be problems with code, but the subform I'm thinking of is very basic. Three tables: tblFamily FamID (primary key) FamLastName tblIndividual IndID (primary key) InFamID FirstName MiddleName ....other personal data tblAddress AddressID AdFamID street city state zip Two main forms for different types of data entry frmFamily with family information on the main form and address information in the subform (sfrAddress) (also has sfrIndividual to enter basic Individual information). frmIndividual with detailed Individual information on the main form and the address information on a subform. The address information on this form is really just for display purposes and not data entry, although I don't think that it needs to be restricted as such. It's possible that both frmFamily and frmIndividual will be open at the same time. Can I and should I use the same sfrAddress? Thanks for your help. Kathy R.
From: Allen Browne on 2 Mar 2010 19:15 Access is fine with running 2 instances of a form simultaneously. No problem. Sometimes I even put multiple instances of a subform on the one form. There's no problem with code. Just use Me and it understands the right form. Or you can use Forms!Form1!Sub1 and Forms!Form2!Sub1 -- Access will understand. Even if you place multiple instances on the one form, they will each have different names for the subform controls, so you can still refer to them easily. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.
