Subform as Continous Form

[Guest]

I have a main form that pulls up data based on the user selection in the
subform (as data has one-to-many rel.) it pulls up 5 records related to the
item selected on the main form. I was using the datasheet view and ran into
problems related to the column header widths and positioning. So I tried to
use continous form view, but now the detail section is ignored by the main
form it only shows the header or footer section of the subform.

Secondly it does not show the 5 record as it does in the detial section when
the subform is opened on its own?

Can someone help with this...............Thx!

Check the Visible property of the subform, you may have inadvertantly set it
to no. If that isn't it, check the LinkMasterFields and LinkChildFields
properties of the subform control, that they are set properly. Next try
deleting he subform and reinstalling it by dragging it from the Database
window onto the mainform.

In my previous post, I meant to check the visible property of the Detail
Section of the subform.

Hum, I don't see why this would happen.

I would try building a new sub-form. you can even let the wizard build you
this continues form.

For all of my applications when I do need a grid of data, I do in fact use
sub-forms, and I use them in continues mode. here is some screen shots of
this idea:
