Change the layout of a subform displayed as a single or continuous form

1. Open the main form in Design view. The subform is displayed in Design view in the subform control.
   
   
2. Make sure the subform control is selected. After it’s selected, you can click again inside the control to select the form, a section, or a control, just as you would if you opened the subform in Design view from the Database window.
   
   
3. Make changes to the subform’s design.
   
   
4. To make changes to the subform control — for example, to resize it or set its properties — first click the border of the control to select it.
   
   
5. Switch to Form view to see the changes.

Notes

• If you change the width of a form displayed as a subform, you must also adjust the width of the subform control on the main form.
  
  
• If the AllowDesignChanges property of the main form is set to All Views, you can change the design of the subform by using the property sheet in Form view. You can’t, however, make changes to the subform control.
