Subform without using wizard?

How do you make a form a subform of another form without using the wizard?

Thanks!

Open the main form in design view.

Drag the subform from the Forms tab of the database window onto the main
form.

(You can also do it with the Subform control in the Toolbox.)

Before you use the toolbox to drag the sub form control onto the main form,
in the upper right corner next to the arrow click to toggle wizards on/off.

Using the toolbox worked like a charm. For some reason dragging the
one form onto the other form didn't do anything.

One last question. Instead of placing the subform ON the main form....
how do I make it launch with a button on the mainform-- w/o using the
wizard.

Thanks!

Dragging the name of the form from the Database window onto the other form
(which is open in design view) should work.

To open another from from a command button, just use the OpenForm action. If
you want them to stay synchronized, see:
