    Create subform that uses repeating form view instead of worksheet

    I would like to create a subform that allows the regular type of form layout and allows you to scroll down instead of a datasheet. All I can seem to get is a form that has the record controls at the bottom and allows you to scroll records that way. However, that is not what i want. I basically want a repeating panel that shows the details in form view and you would be able to see the top three but scroll down to see more.
    Is this possible?


    Thanks

    Just change the Default View of the Form the Subform is based on from Datasheet View to Continuous View.

    Ok, thank you that is what i was missing. I was trying to create it from scratch. I have created a form, made it continuous and then used that for my subform and it is working.
    Thanks

    Datatsheet View is the classic display method for a Subform, but there are situations, such as yours, apparently, where other Views are more useful!

    Glad we could help!
