text: As you probably know, one of the new things in Access 2000 is a Subdatasheet, a grid that shows up when you click on a plus mark next to each record of the table that is in 1-1 or 1-many relationship with table(s). The examples of the pictures taken can be found at http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Palms/9151/ac_slike.zip and now please look at picture 1.jpg
Picture one shows a price list. So, there are groups of products, products themselves and packages of the products. The relation is Groups->Products->Packages. The picture shows packages of the second product in the first group that showed up when the user clicked a plus mark.
The problem can be seen in picture 2.jpg when going to the new group (group no. 3) the packages of the second product of this group are visible even though the user didn't open them by clicking on the plus mark. I think that the best thing would be to remember the state of each datasheet or to collapse all when going to another group.
