Ok, I am getting better at this. I now have renamed things, rewritten
macros, and I am feeling powerful. Do I know what I am doing? Not really.

I have two subforms on my database. One has the records bar at the bottom
but the other doesn't. I would like to hide it on the other; how do I do
that? Since the record is indexed to the data item on the form, I want only
to edit that one item; it includes additional infor about the record (being
edited in the form as whole) and there is no reason to have more than one
record on the subform. Right now it allows that and I don't care to do
that. There is no need to be able to go forward or backward to another
record either. Also since the entire form has a records bar below the
subforms records bar, the two of them there is confusing.

What do I do?

If I am calling the records bar the wrong thing; forgive me.
 
Open your subform in design view, select properties and set the "record
selectors" and "navigation buttons" format properties to NO.

note that even with the navigation buttons removed, the user can tab through
all the controls in the subform and automatically tab from the last control
to the first control in the next record - unless you set the subform's Cyle
property to CurrentRecord. the user can also use the PageUp and PageDown
buttons on the keyboard to move from one record to another in the subform
(or use the scroll wheel on a mouse, i believe). to stop PageUp/PageDown
capability, you'd have to capture those keystrokes and "erase" them. to stop
the scrolling, there's code available at
