    SubForm makes Page Controls Disappear

    I have an Order Entry form with two Pages or Tabs. In one of the Pages, I show additional controls from the main form (Order Header). On the second page, I have inserted a subform that lists order details. The subform shows the order details using a Continuous Form view. When I click on the Details tab and the subform comes in view, it overlays both Page (Tab) controls and I can't go back to the first Page (Tab). I have tried making the subform smaller without success. What do I need to do to keep the subform from making the Pages go away. Thanks, Eddie

    The Subform should retain the size it's been set to. Having said that, many things work differently in post-2003 Databases because of the Document Window Options, a new option with 2007/2010, which defaults to 'Tabbed Documents.' Follow these instructions and see if it resolves your problem:

    1. Go to Office Button (Big Icon, Top/Left)
    2. Click on Access Options (bottom, right of Dialog Box)
    3. Click on Current Database
    4. Go to Document Window Options
    5. Change from Tabbed Documents to Overlapping Windows
    6. Click on OK (Bottom, Right)
    7. Close and then re-open your Database

    As I said, doing this frequently makes things display/act like they did in pre-2007 versions.
