Hi I am trying to create a linked subforms or several linked subforms, I
would ideally like to have three or four linked forms from a main form, I am
currently creating these through the wizard and when I create the first
subform I always get asked if I would like a subform or linked form but if I
create a third subform using the same wizard it automatically puts this in as
a subform when I would like it to be a linked form, any ideas??

Well... don't use the wizards, if they don't work for you. They are of
very limited utility - fine for simple things, but they get confused
when things get more complex.

If you want to create a new linked form, just create the form and then
use the toolbar command button (with the wizard turned on) to open
that form. You might need to read, understand, and adjust the VBA code
that the command button creates, but you can use an existing linked
form as an example.
