Datasheet question again

[Phil Hunt]

Is it possible to show a Form Header on a Datasheet form ?

Thanks

Hi Phill

Don't think so.

You could create a form with a header and then place the datasheet within
this as a subform. This would give the same effect provideing you don't have
a border.

Sorry Maurice and Joan - just noticed you had already answered this question.

Phile it's not really a good idea to ask the same question but with a
different header.

Sorry, did not mean to.

Hello,

I have done this, inserting a datasheet as a subform on my main form.
Question is: How do you get it to be a datasheet view without having to
maximize but the width and height of hte subform itselff to show ALL the data?

Thanks,
MN

Make the subform control taller and wider? Sorry the question doesn't
really make much sense to me.

Wel that is what I am having to do in order to show all the data in my
subform -- which i made to be a datasheet view. What i want is it to be a
true datasheet, where no matter what the "size' of the subform is on the main
form...that it will show ALL the data -- so you can scroll to the right to
see everything. That is not how it is working when it's a subform within a
form.

It is if you enable scrollbars. Look at the scrollbars property of the form
shown in the subform control. Not of the subform control.

 

[Guest]

scrollbars are enabled on both the subform and the form...

I don't understand it then. If the form being shown within the subform
control has scrollbars enabled then you should see them when viewing the
main form.

 

[Guest]

I SEE the scrollbars...but what i'm saying is that the subform -- which is
supposed to be viewd in datasheet view, is not being viewed that way within
the main form. I can't view ALL thte subform's data in the main form unless
I completley maximize that subform's' width and height to show as many fields
as possible.

Do you have the default view of the form set to Datasheet?

 

[Guest]

i have the default view of the SUBFORM set to datasheet, but not hte main
form because I have a drop down in the form header for the main form that i
want to show up.
