    How can I open a SubForm without Subform Expanded

    Hi, when I open a certain Form which has a Subform (in Datasheet) the dropdown (Subform) are automatically expanded. I want this Form to open with all collapsed (as I have in other Forms/Subforms). Is there a trick in the Properties Settings to change this Form/Subform to open with the Subform collapsed? I hope that I'm making some sense here?




    I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advanced!

    June7: Yes

    Ajax: I don't know. That's why I posted my thread.

    Well, not sure how we can know either - suggest you compare the properties of your 'faulty' form with one that works on a property by property basis.

    Regards your response to June - datasheets can't have subforms so perhaps that is your problem

    Main Form,under Format Properties 'Subdatasheet Expanded'needs to "No." I somehow had it on '"Yes" but when I changed it to'No" it resolved my issue. Thanks!be

    No, they can't. What you are talking about is a subdatasheet which is something else. but glad you have resolved your problem

    Ajax, you're absolutely right! I did mean a Subdatasheet within a Datasheet. Sorry.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
