G.17. The SubForm Object

When designing Access forms, you can embed a subform within your main form. The SubForm object includes the same properties as the Control object. In addition, some of the SubForm object's properties are the same as other Access form objects. As a convenience, however, all of the SubForm object properties are described in the following table.
