Are you sure it is not installed? Open your main form in design view. Click
the Toolbox button in the menu at the top. There are two buttons at the top
of the Toolbox, an Arrow and a wand. Is the Wand highlighted. If not, click
on it then click on the subform tool.

You can create a subform another way. Open the database window to forms and
click new. Create your subform as a separate form. Close after you have
created the subform. At the database window - forms, click on WIndow then
click display vertically. Find your subform. Click and drsg the subform and
drop it on the main form. Open the main form in design view and modify the
size of the subform control as needed.Also be sure to ser the LinkMaster and
Linkchild properties to your primary Key/foreign key.

you don't need a wizard to add a subform, hon. just open the main form in
Design view. if the Toolbox toolbar is not visible, then click the Toolbox
button on the "main" toolbar to show it. look for the Subform/Subreport
button on the Toolbox toolbar and click it. click on the form where you want
to put the subform, and the subform container control appears. in the
Properties box, click on the SourceObject property and either type in the
name of the subform, or choose it from the droplist. if the tables
underlying the form and subform have been properly linked in the
Relationships window, the LinkChildFields and LinkMasterFields properties
may fill in automatically. if not, you'll need to enter the field names
yourself. you can click on the Builder button at the right side of either
property "line" to see if Access will offer suggestions for the linking
fields. also, you can click on either property "line" and the press F1 to
read up on the topic in Access Help.
