Continuous forms on tabbed form?

[TonyWilliams via AccessMonster.com]

I have a main form which has a tabbed control. On the tabbed control I want
to display a subform as a Continous form but even though I have set the
property to Continuos form the subform shows as a single form. Does this mean
that I can'tshow a Continuos Form as a subform on a tabbed main form?
Thanks
Tony

Tony,
Yes, you can use a continuous subform on a tab object.
What version are you using? I can't see why that would
make a difference, but...

The only thing I can think of is that your form is as high as the
subform object itself, making it "appear" to be single.
Have you tried to scroll down using the subform vertical scroll bar?
Can you see other records associated with the main by scrolling
down?

On a single form, it's vertical scroll bar will only move up and down
that form. (If the form is taller than your screen can display)
On a continuous form, it's vertical scrollbar will scroll from one
record to another.

If... that doesn't tell us anything, you're welcome to send me just
the tables, queries, and form needed to demonstrate the problem.
No charge, confidentiality assured. Use the Contact function on my
website (below), zip the file, and put "newsgroup" in the email subject.

I do it all the time. What version of Access are you using and what OS? When
you say "I have set the property to Continuos form", what property are you
talking about?

Thanks Guys. Sorry for the delay in getting back. The problem was the I had
the main form and subform the same size as suggested. Works just fine now.

Thanks again
Tony
