I can't believe your applications have such poor UI that you don't
use subforms or that you're such a poor programmer that you'd not
re-use a form in more than one location if it were appropriate (as
it very often is).
I can't think of any case where I have used the same form twice as a
subform (on the same parent form) so I can't say how I would deal with
that, but I expect it would be smoothly and efficiently, if I used
subforms, that is, but, of course, I don't. I think I stopped using
subforms five years ago or so; as I roll my own, users do not seem to
notice, except that they like to be able to move and size the "sub"
form.
I'm not sure if you were a regular here in CDMA when I posted in more
than one thread about exposing forms in library mdbs, making them
available for reuse not only within one application, but within many
at the same time. That must be almost ten years ago.
I really hope you won't bother yourself with my level of programming
expertise. It's been of sufficient quality over the past twenty-five
years that I have not had to seek clients actively during that time.
No need for you to miss your beauty sleep worrying about that.
I don't really expect to convert anyone to my position on this matter,
David, and arguing is tedious. So I'm checking out of this thread now.
