Open the subform independently of its parent foprm in design view, open the
form object's properties sheet and set the Default Views property to
Continuous Forms.
A subform is really just a form which is embedded in another form. The
parent form has a subform control which houses the subform. The underlying
form is the SourceObject property of the subform control. It can be linked
to its parent form or it can be unlinked. A linked subform is usually used
where the subform's underlying table is on the 'many' side of a one-to-many
relationship with the parent forms, e.g. you could have a parent Customers
form and an Orders subform so that the subform shows just the orders for the
current customer record. Linking is done by means of the LinkMasterFields
and LinkChildFields properties of the parent form's subform control. In this
example they would be set to CustomerID or whatever the primary and foreign
key fields in the two tables are called
To modify any properties of a subform or any of the controls on it you
modify the underlying form object in just the same way as you would if it
were a standalone form. In fact there is no reason why the same form cannot
act as a subform and a standalone form in the same application.
