Subform Form header-footers not visible

32 New Member
Hello,
I am working on an application in MS Access. I have an employee form with an employee charges subform. the subform is supposed to be displayed in the datasheet view.
I have put the labels for column headers in the form header, and the charges total in the form footer.
What happens is , the header and footer are visible both on the subform and the parent form in design view, but neither appears in run mode. I have gone through every property in both forms, but cant seem to figure out what the problem is.
Please help. thanks in advance

Datasheet view is a 'table' view, it will not allow you to display 'form' headers and footers. One way to get around this is to change your form to continuous, this will populate with rows (similar to a table) but also allow the viewing of the form header and footer...

Another way is to use a listbox instead of subform. Your column headers are then much easier to display, and the resulting totals can be placed in your main form area immediately below the listbox.

Regards,
Scott

Hi everyone! I was wondering if there is a away to use Access 97's build in filter-by-form function but restrict its effect to just the subform. I have a parent form that shows the major divisions of the company, and a subform that is linked so that it displays all the jobs within the division in the parent form. I also want the ability to filter the subform, so the users can pick out a bunch of common jobs easily. I did this using a...

I have an Access 2000 form with a subform in Datasheet view. When I click on an item in the header of the subform (the title at the top of one of the columns), I'd like to be able to capture the fact that I'm clicking in the header and not somewhere in the detail section. How can I learn this? TIA - Turtle

I have a subform which represents a 1:N relationship with the main form. I would like to be able to read values from an external file, fill the subform with the values read & allow the user to view/edit the values via the subform. I thought this would be accomplished using a simple loop; read values, assign the various fields of the subform & repeat for each row of the subform. Seems this is not possible, or at least I have been unable...

I have a quote system in A97 that uses a form and subform. The form is linked to QuoteMaster table and the subform to QuoteDetail table. The subform has all of the details that make up the actual quote (other than the header info). The form and subform are linked by the QuoteNo, which is AutoNumber in the QuoteMaster table.

I have a subform (that is linked to a table) in a blank form. When the table is viewed in its subform state in the form, the headings are not user friendly. ie. CustN I would want it to read in the subform heading column as Customer Name without affecting the actually field heading in the table itself..... if that makes sense. Any suggestions? thanks

I have a form in Access 2007 containing a subform. The control source of the latter is SELECT DISTINCTROW ., ., ., ., . FROM ; which is undoubtedly correct. However, if I click on the down arrow on the subform header (the one that should bring up the sort and filter menu) I get this error:

I'm using a subform linked to the main form by a bidder number field. In the subform, I added a group header and put the field LS in it so that it would list all records designated as Live first under a heading that says Live, and then all that are designated as Silent under a heading that says Silent. The subform works beautifully by itself, but when I put it in the main form, I get an error that says "Access can't find the field 'Live or...
