SYMPTOMS

If you choose Show All Records while entering data in a subform, records in the main form will be shown instead of records in the subform.

CAUSE

Microsoft Access applies the Show All Records command to the main form instead of the subform.

RESOLUTION

Close and then reopen the main form to show the records in the subform.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.
