Getting all the subform data to show

[normajean]

Hi:
I don't know why I can't get my subform data to show? The unbound subform is on a Pop-up form that gets opened when the user clicks on any patient record in the MainForm.
The subform on the Pop-up is supposed to show all the patient visits for that patient. When I view the subform on its own, all the data is there, but when I view the subform, its only as large as I've drawn the subform.
I have the Default view of the Visits form (which is the subform in Pop-up) to Continuous. I have the Default view of the Pop-up to Single.
I have the CanGrow, CanShrink set to yes for the Visits subform in the Pop-up.
Any ideas???
Thanks, Normajean

Yikes! Is that true??

Wow! This seems like such a limitation! I'm used to using sub-reports quite a bit, and they are so nice because they grow and shrink as needed. The problem with this subform is that there can be from 1 to 50 visits, (usually only a couple) and I wanted to follow the Visits subform with a Payments subform.
The Main form has summary information for Charges and Payments, and the user would like to click on any Patient and get a listing of charges and Payments, which I had planned to deliver via two 'growing' subforms.
How would you handle this? - Given that the interactive subforms can't grow and shrink?
Thanks Pat! (It's always a bonus to see you are cruising the site)

I think I finally get it now!

Hi Pat:
I assumed that the subforms would behave like subreports, and must have set every property in the form, subform I could think of to try to 'correct' the subform's stubborn size. Now that I know, I have changed the design of my form/subform and am glad that I won't have to walk down that road again!
Thanks again, Normajean
