So there's one and only one dog on any visitdate? Surely not.

What are the Recordsources of your form, subform, and sub-subform? What are
their master/child link fields?

Sir,

Hopefully, these tables are the correct base to build on:

tblDog
DogIDpk, Autonumber
DogName, Text

tblDogCondition
DogIDfk, number
ConditionIDfk, number

tblCondition
ConditionIDpk, Autonumber
ConditionDesc, text

tblDogVisit
tblDogVisitpk, autonumber
DogIDfk, number
VisitIDfk

tblVisit
VisitIDpk, Autonumber
VisitDate, Date/Time

I am working on the Record Source and Master/Child portion of your
response. Thanks for your time!

I'd simply put a date/time field in tblDogVisit rather than having an entire
table and form containing nothing but a date. You don't need to keep any
information that is specific to March 29, as a date, independent of any dogs
or visits. I think you're overnormalizing here!

You can certainly base a form on a query selecting a date or a range of dates.

Hello!

(I originally posted this using a vet database analogy, because it
looks to me like the same setup as what I really need the database
for. Anyway, I hope I have provided enough detail here about the real
use of the database that the errors I am making are really obvious. I
tend to over-analogize.)


At our daily Quality Review Program (QRP), we review applicant records
for discrepancies. We then turn that list of discrepancies over to be
corrected. The next day, we do the same thing to another group of
applicant records. On same days, we review 10 records; on others, we
review 200. So, I thought that we can database/userform this instead
of using individual Excel workbooks by day that we keep for a year.
(One database file rather than 365 separate workbooks or one workbook
with 365 tabs.)

So, we have a QRP table:
tblQRP with QRPID (autonumber) and QRPDate (Date)

We have an applicant table:
tblApplicant with ApplicantID (Autonumber), ApplicantSSN (Text),
ApplicantLName (Text), QRPID (Number)

We have a Discrepancy table:

tblDiscrepancy with DiscrepancyID (Autonumber), Discrepancy (Text) and
ApplicantID (Number)

There is a mainform with tblQRP as its Record Source and the QRPDate
field and two subforms:

Subform control: subfrmApplicant (name) and Source Object
(frmApplicant) with LMF (QRPID) and LCF (QRPID)
Form: Record Source (tblApplicant)
Three textbox controls: ApplicantSSN, ApplicantLName, and ApplicantID
(Control Source is the same as the Name.)

Subform control: subfrmDiscrepancy (name) and Source Object
(frmDiscrepancy) with LMF (QRPID) and LCF (ApplicantID)
Form: Record Source (SELECT tblDiscrepancy.* FROM tblDiscrepancy ORDER
BY [tblDiscrepancy].Discrepancy DESC;)
Two textbox controls: DiscrepancyID and Discrepancy (Control Source is
the same as the Name)

What I would like to happen is to enter the QRP date in the mainform,
then enter the applicant's SSN and name into Subform 1, and then enter
the discrepancies for that applicant into Subform 2. Back to subform 1
for the second applicant for the same date, and then the subform 2
should be blank. It works mostly, but it is still showing the
discrepancies from the first applicant instead of clearing with each
applicant.

Looking at this setup, what am I doing wrong?
