I am in the process of upgrading a database, mostly by borrowing things I like from a similar database. I've borrowed a subform, along with it's underlying query and have modified my tables accordingly. All fields should match up.
Said subform is embedded on a page of a tab control. I've been modifying it regularly in design view, but when I switch over to form view, none of my controls show up. It just shows a blank yellow background.
This makes me very sad/frustrated. Please help!
 
It sounds like Access can't find the form your subform is based on. Maybe you have the form name misspelled?
 
Ok checked that out- I picked the form from the drop-down list, so I can't imagine that it can't find it. I did notice that the Link Child Fields and Link Master Fields names were wrong- I had missed those when I moved it over. Unfortunately it still does not appear after I corrected that mistake.
My only thought- in the other database, the subform shows up on the form as "Embedded42." In my database, it just shows up with the form name. Did I do something wrong when I put it on my tab control?
This is killing me slowly...
 
My table links were messed up, which was throwing everything off. I fixed that and now it shows up!
Happy day!!!!
