I'm fairly inexperienced working within access so please bare with me and any advice given would be appreciated in layman’s terms...please. I have inherited a database that is used for court-based special program. The database is what I'm looking for and I've been able to modify most of the forms to meet my needs. My problem is there are a few subforms that I have not been able to get into to modify...some have drop-down lists that I want to add too etc. How do I get into these subforms to edit. Thanks

In design view, right click on the controls you want to edit and choose properties. Then on the data tab, look at the control source. THAT is where you have to go to edit the data for the control.

There may be a lot more involved in this as the control source may be based on a query. But that will get you started in the right direction.

As for the subforms, you can select ONLY the subform in design view and modify controls also. If you don't see anything, look at its control source. Then look at the list of forms available in the db for a form of that same name.

Good luck.
