Subform question - MS Access
Posted on 2016-10-27
I have 2 subforms on my form. The first one is fine. It has a detail section that allows me to drag controls onto it, etc. When I created the second subform, it just appears on the form as a big white box. What am I doing wrong? Like subform1, I want to be able to put controls on subform2. thanks

Not yet. Because its record source is a temporary table that is currently empty. I'll ultimately be using subform1 to copy selected records (one by one by use of a command button on subform1) from subform1 (whose record source is a different table) to subform2.
But I need to populate subform2 with some textboxes to display the temporary table data; as I won't be displaying all temporary table fields in subform2. Only selected ones.

I created a new database quickly and put a subform on a form to illustrate what I'm referring to. Normally when I put a subform on a form, it will initially display with a horizontal and vertical ruler, a header section, a detail section, etc. And I think even the wizard opens automatically to ask some questions. Now when I put a subform on a form, all I get is a white box like in the attached.
