Problem with getting Subform Text

I am using 2 tables: ETR and LOG. The main form I am using shows all records from tblETR and 1 record from tblLOG. The record from tblLOG (tblLOG.Action)is displayed in a subform. My problem is that the subform record pulls separate LOG text entries on a particular Electronic Trouble Report (ETR). There can be many Log text entries per day on a single ETR.
I can pull one record to the subform no problem. WHat I need to be able to do is cancatenate all the text records together for a specific ETR and display them in the subform.

Like I said subform now displays the first and only one of the text entries for an ETR. If I change subform view to datasheet it shows all the entries, but I need to have subform show in form view to make it blend in with the rest of the form.

Any Ideas?

Maybe your subform's Default View is set to Single Form and it should be Continuous forms...Check the properties.

Good luck

Yup it was. Now the problem is that the text has all kinds of white space between it now. I enable the vertical scroll bar only so all text can be read but, way too much space between them now. This is going to be something silly again I presume
