I am not able to access the child Recordset in the following code:

mrstDayBook.Fields("Chapter1").Fields(bbbdbName).V alue

where mrstDaybook is a hierarchical recordset produced by a SHAPE command and "Chapter1" is the ( default ) name of the field automatically appended to a parent Recordset by the SHAPE command.

The chapter (subordinate recordset) can only be accessed as a recordset.

Dim workingRecordset as recordset
workingrecordset = mrstDayBook.Fields("Chapter1").Value

while not workingrecordset.eof
' do your stuff
workingrecordset.movenext
wend
