Modified subform changes do not show in main form.

[Guest]

Hi
I went into my subform and added some labels and changed some backgrounds. I
went back to my mainform to view the changes. The subform hadn't changed. In
design view, the changes are visible. I deleted the subform and re-inserted
it into the main form. Same problem, no change in form view, and change is
visible in design view. What is going on?
Thanks

It's possible that you're changing a different form than you think
you're changing.

Open the main form in design view; select the Subform Control (not the
form within that control, but the box containing the form - click the
edge of it) and see what its SourceObject property is.

It may also be prudent to Compact and Repair the database just in case
your form is becoming corrupt.
