Table / List forms and sub-forms

S

Speedy

When one uses the Access table list form wizard and a sub-form is linked into
the main table form, the sub-form opens based on preset values which and the
sub form is not really where and at the size that I would like.

If one looks at the form in design view I cannot readely see where one can
change these settings.

Any help on how and where to do this?

Best regards,

Speedy

Click to expand...

You can open the mainform in design view; right mouseclick on the edge
of the Subform control and select "Open subform in new window". Or,
you can instead open the form used as the subform directly from the
Forms window.

Move the controls around wherever you like; I'd suggest changing from
the default Datasheet view to Continuous Forms (on the Default View
property), that gives you a lot more control over the subform's layout
and appearance.
