Subform/ Subreport Query Data Row Number Reference

I am new to this and i may be going about this the wrong way but what i am doing seems to do the job until now.

I am making a form that has a combo box, a few text boxes and a subform subreport on it.

The idea is that the first thing a user does is to select a name form the combo box. this name is then stored as a sring and used to set the forms record source and then the subform's (called window) source object. the string is slightly modified during the process to do this. That part works fine.

The problem arose when i included text boxes to show infomation from the selected Query thatisant show in the window (subform).

After the user selects a name and the name is used to set up the record source and the source object for the text boxes.it then displays in the text boxes the records extra data. however it only displays the first row extra data.And when other rows in the query table are selected the data in the text box stays set as the first row.


I know that this is because i haven't programed in an event that makes the text box data update when the user selects a new row.

i also realise that i would need to have some way of know what row of the quiery table the user is looking at to be able to update the text boxes.

my questions are

Is there a way to tell what row of a query table in the subform is selected ?

Is there an event similar to on selection of row or something like that that i could use to reload the text boxes?

and finaly

am i going about this the right way?

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated :)
