MS Access Split Form opened as suborm doesn't display

Hello Computer People,

I'm an "advanced ameatur" MS Access user who is having the same issue as was described in this thread:

http://forums.techguy.org/business-a...rm-opened.html
As Melonhead and I found, a split form inserted into another form essentailly becomes a form within a form (making the datatable dissappear).
(If I'm understanding correctly) melonhead found a way to make a datasheet control the records in a regular form (acting like a split form).
I am able to but the two subforms together, make them reference the same table, but I have no clue how to make them "talk". I have no problem with reading on my own to find out how, I just have no idea what I should be searching under.
My sales reps are used to pulling up records on a split form due to the ease of sorting (and thats what I gave them to work with for the past year). However if somone has another suggestion, I am open to hearing it.
I am willing to trade technical knowledge of ceramic tile in exchange for some help. I'll also be really really nice to you.
Thanks
TileGuy
