Hello all, I'm new to the site, hoping someone familiar with both continuous subforms and option groups could give me a hand please?
I have a "dialog window"-type form with a subform in it. The subforms are in continuous mode, and I have a scrolling window in my main form that contains one subform for each record that meets the criteria. On each subform, I have a 3-button option group, each option corresponding to a particular "type" that I want assigned to the value in a linked table. The choice is made by the user, then there is a control button that executes an update query which saves the choice to the table (value is 1, 2 or 3)
This works fine when there is one record returned. The problem I am running into is when there are multiple instances of the subform, each for a different record. When you click a choice in the subform for record #1, it updates the value in the option group for all of the open subforms. I need this to work such that a different choice can be made in the option group for each subreport. It seems like the application only knows one option group, rather than optiongroup.subform(record 1), optiongroup.subform(record)2, etc. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
The subform is "modal" and continuous, and the option group is unbound. I've attached copies of the forms and the save query. If anybody can offer some insight, I'd greatly appreciate it!
