Using MS Access - Multiple Subforms, Subforms


Expert: Bob Heifler - 7/1/2009

Question
Two questions:
I would like my subform to look like an actual form, is this possible?  It always seems to look like a table.

Also, How do I create multiple subforms on a page so that I can create a slick user interface so when someone chooses the following:  Choose Area -> Choose Building in selected area -> Choose Room in selected building -> Room Information is displayed

Answer
Ryan,
You can change the default view of the Sub Form to 'Single View'.
You might also want to redesign the form by moving the controls around so they look more like a single record data entry form.  It's easier to just use the form wizard or auto form columnar. Do not select auto form tabular or auto form data sheet when creating your new sub form.
