What on earth is a subform used for and what do I need to be aware of when making one.

What types of things can they be used for.
 
Better knowledge about this topic can be found by searching this and other forums as well as help.

However, the subform is multi-functional.

The primary purpose I use subforms for is to display 1 to many relationships. Say each customer can have many Invoices. Then a main form could display customer information and a subform on the main form could display all the Invoices that a selected customer had. This is only one of many possibilities.

Several subforms could be added to a form, giving the user unlimited access to muliple tables at once.

Forms can be used as subforms. Therefore, you could make one form and imbed it as a subform into several different forms. Then when you make changes to that form in one place, all subforms would be changed.

Keep searching...
