The difficult I do immediately, the impossible takes a little bit longer.

Linking Subforms to an Unbound Control(s) on the Parent Form

Forms

You want to link a Subform to the Parent Form but your Parent Form is unbound.  However, when you try to pull up the Subform Field Linker you get...

You can still do what you want, however, instead of using the Subform Field Linker you will need to type in the field names.

 

1. Pull up the Properties Window of the Subform

2. Type in the field names… note, the field ‘cboAssociateID’ is unbound

 

Now when the form opens it will be blank until you make a selection from the Combo Box on the Parent Form.
