HI!
I have a small question. When I use wizard, it will show a windows for
Field link selection. However, some selections are too long, and the key word
is cut(covered, can't see). Is anyway to adjust it? Thank you.

For example, this is the selections, but ????? is covered by the windows, I
can't see the word.
1. show xxx for each record in xxxreport using xxxID
2. show <SQL statement> for each record in xxxreport using ??????
3. show <SQL statement> for each record in xxxreport using ??????
4. show <SQL statement> for each record in xxxreport using ??????
5. show <SQL statement> for each record in xxxreport using ??????
6. none

These will be fieldnames in your table. I have no idea what fieldnames
(since I can't see your table) and even if you do know the fieldnames,
there's no way to expand the silly window! Just bad design on MS's
part I fear.

It doesn't much matter though. Pick #1; and if that's not the correct
way to logically link the records on the form to those on the subform,
open the Subform in design view and edit its Master link field and
Child link field properties. That's what the wizard is trying to
define.
