Subform Form header-footers not visible

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
