Ok so on my main form I have a combo box once you select something from it, it updates a subform called Details using a requery macro. On the details subform there is another subform (minutedetails) that I am also trying to update as well, but I get the message can't find the field 'minute details' in the current record. Any ideas? I would like to figure out how to use the macro to refresh this information.

Welcome to UtterAccess!

You shouldn't need to do anything to the sub-subform. Just make sure it's Master/Child field relationships are set to the linking fields between the data sources.

The master link field should be the PK (primary key) ofthe master table (the first subform). The child link field should be the FK (foreign key) of the child table (the second subform).

ok so I'm getting a can't build a link between unbound forms. I probably should have explained it a little more. I actually have two combo boxes in the main form and they select all records that are equal to those two fields(Details). The second subform (mintue details) actually is the linking table between a many to many relationship.

Without seeing what you're trying to do, it will be difficult to determine what is happening. If you can, post a stripped down version of the DB (minus any sensitive data) and we'll take a look.

Have you compacted and repaired? Removed all data?
