Hi, Mike,
Yes you are right Mike. I need to put the child section in another form due to selective validation. I do not want the parent components to be validated or reloaded when the child section is been submitted. You talked of a workaround, so is that a way that i can use a single form but attain selective validation n reloading of child and parent data respectively?
Thanks for
