Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

This is a easy one. Field names on a notes form must be unique, this would include any fields on included subforms. So if you have a field call City on the main form and change an included subform to contain a field call City you will get the error. Also if you have more than 1 subform included and both subforms have the field City, you will get the error.

Um, because FormA and SubformZ both contain a field named FieldX?

subform becomes the part of the form in which it is used, thus a form with two fields of same name is not possible, but it can be used in another form where same field is not there.
