Re: Main form saving when click on subform??? A97

As far as I know moving focus to the subform is equivelant to moving to a
different record. The record in the main form is saved. The MasterLink and
ChildLink properties have nothing to do with it. Doesn't even matter if the
subform is unbound.

You know, you're probably right. Now that I think about it, I could
never select the subform control in my earlier versions of this app
after I'd entered ANYTHING at all onto the main form. I always had
to make my entries on the subform control FIRST, then start making
the entries onto the main form. Once the main form's fields had been
properly filled out, I explicitly saved the record.

Gonna have to rethink this form.
