Subform control

Use this control to display a subform on another form.

Subforms displayed on forms have full functionality. Subforms displayed as pop-ups are read-only; users cannot interact with them. To display the subform as a pop-up, use the Comfill control instead.

To place a subform on a form, click Subform and then click the form.

Put the name of the database field or variable that you want to associate with this control into the Input property.
