Open the subform in design view. You need to have it as a Continuous
Form (on the default view property), so you can use the subform's
Footer to do the calculation - datasheets don't show the footer.

Select View... Form Footer to make the footer visible; in that footer
put a textbox with a Control Source

=Sum([fieldname])

where fieldname is your subtotal field.
