Quote:I have my family database and am trying to now set it up with tabs to show family member then show in tabs the children, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren....etc
I have done a fair bit of work with tabs and subforms for sesame - the first problem that I can see is that you want it to iterate an infinite number of family members until it runs out of generations. To do this each subform will be smaller than the previous subform unless you want to use scroll bars.
The first thing you need to ask is how many generations do you want to show simultaneously? (on a single form).
There are 2 ways of linking the information.
How are you deciding that there is a common parent? Are you wanting to enter the children from the parents screen etc?
One good way to handle linking parents to children is to create a unique identifier for each person and use this as a method of referring one to the other - that way if you change someones name it doesn't break the link if you're using relation links based on name.
With a little more information I can probably help you through this problem.
I would also suggest starting a new topic for this as its related but not related - it will make your topic easier to find & get responses.
I hope this helps,
