    SubForm Overlapping Main Form

    I will apologize in advance this question is very beginner, but I cannot solve it after an hour of trial an error.



    I have a main form with a SubForm in Datasheet view split horizontally. While everything looks the way I want it in Design view the Form show the SubForm overlapping a portion of the main form which contains a few controls.

    It does not matter how far I pull the Subform down it still overlaps the Main Form. I believe the problem is the Footer of the Main Form, but any change I make has little to no effect.

    I sincerely appreciate any help or suggestions.

    Thank you for the offer. I got so frustrated I ended up deleting both forms and starting over. For some reason subform formatting always gives me problems. I have a few projects with them and getting them to look good on different screens was painstaking. I am sure there are a few controls that would have solved my issues, but I have to find them.

    If anyone knows of a good tutorial on subform formatting I would love to see it.

    Thanks again!
