Convert Datasheet Subforms to Continuous Forms

David Grimes

I have databases with forms that have ugly datasheet subforms that can't be colored nicely. What's the easy way to convert the datasheets to continuous subforms?

David There is no auto-conversion. You need to change form view from "Datasheet" to "Continuous Form" and drag and drop all the textboxes and put them in place yourself. Datasheets have advantages that forms don't have, such as better navigation and adjustable column width. You can have the best of both worlds by switching between datasheet view and continuous/single form view with code.
