    I have a form imported from Bento, it has two sub forms (bento created them as related data fields) when i try to add a new record to the master form when i get to the subform to add the data in there it opens up the subform as a separate form – is there any setting I can tick / something I can change so that it doesnt do this and lets me continue to enter the data in the subform part of the original form ?
    Hope that makes sense !!

    I second that request. It would be really nice to be able to edit the in-line “spreadsheet” data in the parent form display rather than needing to jump into the related child form. While the “return” arrow in the child form is helpful, it’s not enough.

    Also, I would like to be able to sort the “spreadsheet” using the column headers rather than needing to go to the related form and changing sorting there.

    Have to say this is a miss from Bento, its just irritating that we have to keep jumping between forms.

    I have related issue to this:
    when i try to create an entry via the table of the subform i create 2 sets of entrys. one in an newly opend form ready to be filled and another entry that just contains the informations of the parent form. This is a bit annoying for i have to claenup the child datas regularly to get rid of the empty entries. Is there any way to avoid this behaviour?

    Regards,
