Lesson 1 - Using Subforms/Subreports
E DITING THE L AYOUT OF A S UBFORM
Discussion
To improve the efficiency or appearance of a subform/subreport, change the layout the same way you would change the layout of a form/report. In Design view for the main form/report, the subform/subreport is a control you can move, resize, align, add, and delete as you would any other control. Since the subform/subreport control contains a form/report, open it in Design view and make any editing changes to the controls. Changes to the subform/subreport layout are performed in Design view.
NOTE Open a subform/subreport in a separate Design window by right-clicking the desired subform/subreport then selecting Subform in New Window or Subreport in New Window from the shortcut menu.
Procedures
1. Open the main form in Design view. 2. Double-click the subform control you want to edit. 3. Double-click the subform control text to select it. 4. Make the desired editing changes.
