How to delete subform name

[Gkirkup]

I have a form with a subform. When the form is printed, the subform name also prints, top left of the subform.
The problem is that I can never see it to delete it. In design view, the subform name is never displayed, when looking at either the main form or the subform. 'Properties' does not appear to list the subform name as displayed.
So how do I delete the subform name?

That is a label that is hiding under your subform. In the drop down that selects the controls (in Access 2000 it is on the main tool bar and in 2002 and 2003 it is on both the tool bar and in the form's properties dialog) select each label control until you see it kind of selected (showing as a dotted line with the squares that denote the corners) and then you can hit your delete key.

Bob: Great tip, thank you. However I have looked at the controls on the subform and also on the main form, and cannot see it. I can see labels for other subforms OK.
Just to point me in the right direction, would the 'hidden' subform label be in that subform, or on the list of controls for the main form?

You can't see it because it is UNDER the subform and the only way to get it is to use that select. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about:

Forms aren't designed with printing in mind, use a Report, that's their purpose
