My Main form and subform are based on two different tables. I’ve setup the form so that the highlighted records from the Main Form are added to the subform when I click a button. All this is bog standard.
|Mainform| - - - - - - - - - - - - - |Subform|
Items —> (Save Record) —> Item list
However I don’t really want the user to interact with the subform. That happens elsewhere (I need to show the subform data with filters that interfere with the passing of records). But I can’t get the subform to accept new records without some active fields. I have “Update Form,” “New Record” and “Save Record” buttons, but unless I add a numerical field to edit some value on the subform table, the “New” and “Save” buttons are inactive.
I don’t have required fields, and relevant fields have default values.
I’m on the Base 6.4.6.2, using HSQLDB and Windows 10
