A2003 Double-Click to Open Subforms

I have recently moved from A97 to A2003.

I find it inconvenient that I can no longer double-click on the subform
to open it in full view. I had a hunt around the newgroups and couldn't
find anything helpful.

I know that I can right-click to open, but is there anything I can do to
make it do it the 'good old way'?

You can close the form. Then double-click the subform in the database
window.

Perhaps this utility is for you:

I think I didn't make myself clear. I want to be able to double-click
on the subform within the parent form. In A2000 +, it shows the
contents of the subform itself, rather than the 'white box' it used to.

The right-click option is there in A2003. Perhaps your link was a fix
for A2000 which may not have it.

I would like to have a double-click option, particularly since I have to
correctly position the mouse for the right-click option to appear.

Thanks.

The option of opening a form in design view, and stepping into a
subform to design it, still does exist. If you get a white box that's
probably because that subform is already in design view somewhere
else.

We have a large application which has been in constant change/development since Access 2.0. I've upgraded in the past to A95 (sorry I did that), then to A97, which has been fine, and stable.
