Access 97 subforms how to access them

 

Sometimes I miss the obvious and  with Microsoft Access 97 subforms this was one of those times, so if I did not know this, then the chances are some or you also do not know this. Others of you will know and will wonder how others could possibly not know.  I work in five platforms of Microsoft Access - 97, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007. For those of you who have Microsoft Access 97, and have included a subform on your form, when you are in Design view, the subform appears blank (just a white square).

To work on the subform, I used to exit the main form then open the subform separately. I have just discovered that if you double click on the subform whilst in Design view of the main form, the subform will open. Now this may be simple to some of you, but if you do not know this then the other option can be quite cumbersome, so I thought this was worth a mention here.

For more information about the differences between Access 97 subforms and other version of access subforms at Microsoft.
