Quick Subforms and Subreorts

Drag 'em on over

When you need to create a subform or subreport, you probably use the Subform/Subreport tool from the Toolbox to draw where you want to add the control.

You can also create subform and subreports using drag and drop.

Simply open the main form or report in Design view, then drag the appropriate form or report from the Database window to where you want the control created.

Note that you'll still need to set Link Child Fields and Link Master Fields properties on the new control.

View Multiple Pages of an Access Report

More than one at a time

When you preview an Access report, you may want to see several pages at one time to examine the layout of the report.
You may know that you can do so by choosing View >Pages from the menu bar. However, this technique limits how you view the pages -- you can only view 1, 2, 4, 8, or 12 at a time.

For more control over how the pages are displayed, right-click on the report preview itself, and choose Multiple Pages from the shortcut menu.

The default layout grid is 2 x 3 pages. However, if you click and drag with your mouse, you can select a range of up to 4 x 5 pages.
