Easy question?

I'm new to Access. I've created a form with a subform/subreport using
the wizard. The subform field displays in Datasheet View and I want
that changed to Form View. Everything I've read says to simply edit
the Properties of the Subreport Control and change the Default View to
Form View.
I do not see the Default View setting for this control anywhere. It's
making me crazy. Am I editing this field (subform) wrong?? By the
way, the Default View of the Form containing this subreport field is
Single Form (it won't let me change it to Continuous Form). THANKS!

You need to change the default view of the form being used as the subform.

Thanks Doug. That's what I'm trying to do, though. I can't find the
option to change the Default View for the form being used as the
subform. I didn't have a separate form created when I added this
subform using the wizard, and it doesn't show up in the Objects-Forms
view (I don't even know if it should). It's just basically a field in
my existing form. I can right-click it and go to Properties, but there
is no Default View option. Thanks

There must be a form! What does it say for the subform control's
SourceObject property?

Okay, I see what you've done now.

Since you don't have a form, there's nothing you can do to change it.

Okay, so you added a table as a subform instead of using an actual form.
You'll need to build a form based on the table "Subdivision" and then use
that form as the SourceObject for your subform. Tables and Queries used as
SourceObjects will only give you a datasheet.

Thanks Rick. I'm an amateur! I got you though. I'm sure that will
solve it.
