How do I show the subform as form view instead of datasheet view :confused:

[TjS]

See title

I have seen that in some sample db's rightclicking the mouse showed the menu with an option to check or uncheck the dataview option, unchecked the formview was applied, but when i 'just' import the subform, i cannot find somewhere the possibility to change from dataview to formview.

Maybe someone can help me with this, probably very simple(?), question?

its a property of the form. Open the subform in design view, select the format tab and views allowed, sinlge form, continious forms or datasheet

Actually, in the form's properties, you select how you want it to display by setting the DEFAULT VIEW property to the form style you want to view it as.

Thanks for the answer.

I have done the following: (BTW i use Access2000)
1) mainform in design mode
2) selecting sub form
3) right mouse click, to properties
4) set Default View ==> single form
5) Views allowed ==> Form

Then save the main- and subform

Opening the mainform in form view...and you probably guess it already....the subform is still in datasheet view

Change the subforms property, not the main form
