I have a form with a subform. I want to put a Cancel command button on the
main form that undoes the data entered in the subform in the event that the
user changes their mind. I don't want to undo the data in the main form
though, just the subform. I have got round this by putting the command
button on the subform but it is confusing to have the buttons in different
places, I already have a close button on the main form. Is this possible?
Thanks
Tony

I would think when you go to click the button on the main form, that your
subform would lose focus, and your changes would be saved. By the time you
click the button, it is too late to cancel the changes since they are
already saved.

Just my opinion, but I would either 1)hit ESCAPE or 2)put the button on my
subform. Option 1 is the one I normally use.

Thanks Rick. I'll investigate the ESCAPE key suggestion.
