Limiting entries in a data sheet of a seperate form(continued). "Data" <fahadahmad99[ at ]hotmail.com> 17.07.2006 18:17:11 Thanks so much Duane. Unforunately, the subform is not functioning in access 2003 on my computer, since not installed. Another question, Say in the main form(clients form), textbox(condition field) displays GPM or DBT. Instead of subform, user clicks a command button to go to the orientation form. This orientation form displays a set amount of records based on the condition field. If GPM then displays 2 records to enter data. If DBT the dispays 6 records or entries to enter data. I am not sure of the code to display in the orientation form, command click event. If parent or me.condition = GPM then 'code for number of entries in datasheet in orientation form If parent or me.condition = DBT then 'code for number of entries in datasheet of orientation form End If End If Also, can you suggest any books for beginning access vba programmers? Thanks again
