    Subform Dialog Box Hard to Access

    I want to make changes to the LinkChildFields/Link MasterFields. I know they reside on the subform dialog box. When I first open the database I can right click inside the subform box and will get the subform dialogue box. But then every time thereafter I keep getting the Form Dialog Box.



    How can I go directly to the Subform Dialog Box without having to shut down and reopen the database?

    This is getting frustrating and I'm sure it must be easier than this.
    Help!

    You should be able to click somewhere within the main form (outside the subform) to move focus there, and then the first click inside the subform should get the control's properties instead of the form's again.
