Question : Multiple Children Relationships to One Parent Table

Hi, I have another question regarding 'linking' subtables to a master/main table.  The UID field is the unique field that connects these sub/child tables (Treatment_Initial & Treatment_Continuation) in a 'Many - to - One' relationship with their main/parent table (Patient table).  This UID field corresponds to a unique individual.  I am having difficulties making both subtables appear 'inserted' in the main Patient table.  I've been all over the Help files, which say I definitely can have multiple subtables 'linked' to a parent table, and have not been able to troubleshoot what I think is probably an easy solution.  I suspect the 'indexing' is where there is discontinuity, though, am at a loss.  I hesitatingly connected the tables together linearly (Patient table to Treatment_Initial to Treatment_Continuation) but experienced problems the effects of multiple, but similar, Treatment_Continuation tables nesting inside the Treatment_Initial table.

I've attached the test db for your help.  Thanks!

Answer : Multiple Children Relationships to One Parent Table

Personally, I've never used the subdatasheet functionality, and actually turn it off (set the subdatasheetname property of the table to [None]) in all my applications.

BTW, that is probably the reason you can only see one, is that it is defined by the subDatasheet name property, and there is only one of them.
