Thanks for the reply.
I am currently only experimenting with my database at the moment until I get
it working correctly.
Table one has just two fields, the date and a record number (E.g: 123456AA,
234567AB, 345678AB, 456789AA....). Table one will hold all the master record
numbers.
Table two also has two fields, the date and a record number. Table two's
record numbers will only be ones that appears in table one (E.g: 345678AB).
My form and subform look okay but as I step through table ones records,
table ones record number keeps appearing in the subform although the record
number may not appear in table two. When a genuine record number match is
found in table two, the record number appears again as described above and
then the date and record number from table two because of the match. I would
like just the date and record number from table two to appear in the subform.
I know this is probably a very simple fix but I cannot work out what is
wrong. I can send you a copy of the database if required or a screen print if
this will help.
Thanks
Johno

I believe you are seeing a new record in the subform with a default in the
record number field of the value on the main form. You can set the subform
to not allow new records. Also, there generally isn't a need to display the
linking field in the subform since its value is displayed on the main form.

Thanks Duane
Can you let me know how to prevent the 'linking field' data being displayed
in the subform.

While in design view of the subform, select the 'linking field' and press
the delete key.
