I have a subform that displays in Form View. If I have more than one subform record and I click the Save Record button to save the parent, the displayed subform record reverts back to the very first record entered. What’s the trick to forcing the record that is displayed when Save Record is clicked, to continue to be displayed for this session and then also displayed when a new search is performed on the parent record?

Thank you.

Hello Erika, thanks for the help.

It would be arbitrarily selected by the user. One example they gave me was, suppose they create a new subform record. Then, afterwords they want to delete that entry and go back to the previous record or any record they chose. They want that last record they worked on displayed the next time a search is performed on the parent. Hope I'm making sense here?

Ok, thank you Erika, I’ll work on that.

In the meantime and since version 3 is being worked on, do you think that this is a feature that could be worked into it?

Having the option to have Sesame display the last Form View record worked on or saved, when you open the parent record. I think the use of Form View would be much more powerful this way.

Just to satisfy my own curiosity and if you have time, how is Form View supposed to be used? In other words, if you enter a parent record that contains a subform displayed in Form View, what is expected of the data entry person to find the last Form View record worked on(if it's saved), since it defaults to the first record? My customer for example uses a Form View subform to track subscription orders. She wants to be able to see the last order record entered the next time she opens the subscriber's parent record, not the first one.

Also, and on a slightly different subject, Table View shows the last entry, last on the list. Is there a way to reverse the order in Table View without a sort on the data so that the last entry is first?

Thanks again for your time,

Brandon

Ok, Thank you.
