Set a form as a subform without the Wizard?

Hello,
Using Access97, can I somehow set a form I have as a subform in another
existing form when I have the typical install and no install media? When I
try to follow the Help system procedure it errors saying the necessary
Wizard is not installed. Is it possible to do it by other means?
Regards,
ern.

Sure; several ways. One would be to just drag the form that you want as a
subform from the Forms window onto the parent form in design view. Another
would be to use the Toolbox subform tool (without selecting the magic-wand
icon) to add a new subform control to the main form; manually set its Source
Object property to the name of the form, and set its Master and Child Link
Fields appropriately.

Thank you John, your first method was also mentioned in Help and would not
work when I tried it before. This time it has worked.

Thanks again,
