The one I am interested in in this message is getting a navigation bar

boxes on but once you do that, it is a little difficult to determine
which record you are on in the subform.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking here, but it sounds like the problem may not be the navigation bar. Maybe if you provide a little more information on the relationship between the list/combo box and the subform. E.g. do you want the list/combo box selection to change the record displayed in the subform, or is it the other way around?

Anyway, to possibly save you some researching, here is a quick summary of what I know about attaching navigation bars to subforms:-

Usually in OOo, the main navigation toolbar automatically switches to the form or subform currently in focus. But this can be changed through the "Navigation bar" property of the form or subform (in form properties Data tab). The default setting here is "Yes". Other options are "No" (the main navigation bar doesn't switch to control this form or subform), and "Parent" (the main navigation bar controls this subform's parent form or subform whenever this subform has focus. If you have subforms within subforms then, by setting all nested subforms to "Parent" leaves the navigation toolbar controlling the main form.

You can also add a navigation control to the subform itself, in the same way you add other controls to the subform. I often do this and leave the main navigation toolbar controlling the parent form (selecting "Parent" as described above). Note that you can turn subgroups of buttons in the navigation control on or off via the control's properties.

If the subform is a table control then you also have the option of using the table control's built-in navigation controls, whichcan be turned on or off via a control property.

If this answer is readily available somewhere, I apologize!  I'm a
terrible searcher!
