ID: Q214651

The information in this article applies to:
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and a Microsoft Access project (.adp).


SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Access 2000 "Form and report specifications" Help Topic contains the following specification: 


   Number of levels of nested forms or reports       3
The Help Topic "Subforms: What they are and how they work" contains the following statement: 

   You can also nest up to ten levels of subforms.
Both items are incorrect.


RESOLUTION

Access 2000 allows seven nested subforms or subreports. That is, the main form has a one-to-many relationship with the first subform, and the first subform has a one-to-many relationship with the second subform, and so on, for a total of eight forms, including the main form.
