Usually, I don't have a problem making halfway decent forms. I just don't like the way my latest form looks. I uploaded a picture. The columns labeled 'KeySet' are just there to show you how each control relates. They're not necessary and I'll probably hide them later. I think the controls look funny side-by-side and they look about as funny when I put one above or below the others.

Can someone give me some tips on how to make this form look a little better?

You might go to a continous form instead of datasheet. That way you can do some other formatting to it to help visually.
 
Version 2

I tried using continuous forms and it looks slightly better. The list box and subforms have the same color background now. Also, I put the bigger subform at the bottom. I still have an issue with the top subform having so much empty space. My main gripe is that this form doesn't really have a good flow to it, but maybe the data just doesn't lend itself to a simple design.
