Both subforms are linked to a "Name" field. When I want to add a new record, I get the "Enter Parameter Value" pop-up window, because there is no data in that "Name" field and that field is linked to subforms. If I click "ok" on the window, all is fine. So ... what I'm looking for is a way to suppress this window when I create new records. Is there any way I can get around this? Visual Basic code? Anything? :-) Thanks.     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           John Vinson 5/22/2006 11:14 AM PST   Answer   On Mon, 22 May 2006 10:07:01 -0700, tshaffer13 <tshaffer13@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >I have a form with 2 subforms. Both subforms are linked to a "Name" field. Name is a bad choice of fieldname. Forms, Fields, Controls, Subforms, etc. all have a Name property! If you use Name as the name of the name field and the name control Access will very likely get confused. Any chance you could change this fieldname? >When I want to add a new record, I get the "Enter Parameter Value" pop-up >window, because there is no data in that "Name" field and that field is >linked to subforms.

Anything? :-) If you have the Master Link Field and Child Link Fields properly set, and if the query doesn't have any unresolved paramters (e.g. fieldnames which Access cannot find), then you shouldn't be getting any prompts. Could you post the Recordsource property of this subform (post the SQL view) and the values of the subform's Master and Child LInk Fields? John W.

I changed the Name field to Candname and all worked perfectly. I totally forgot about "Name" being one of those "keywords". Thanks!
