Controls are in tables rather than tables populating controls

Chris Clement

After migrating our Access database back-end to SQL Server and establishing
linked tables through ODBC, we have found that one of our forms on our
Access front-end are not acting correctly. This form is actually a subform
of another form. The subform consists of a drop-down box, a textbox, and a
check box. The values of these controls are assigned by a query. But now a
table is showing in the subform and the controls are in each of the columns
of each row. So instead of having one dropdown box, one textbox, and one
checkbox, I have a table with three columns and every row has each of the
controls. I have no idea what caused this or how to fix it. Strange. Any
help is greatly appreciated.

Using Access 2000 and SQL Server 2000.

Apparently the Subform is set to "Continous" view. This is normal
behavior for a continuous subform - you get rows of controls, one row
for each record in the form's recordsource.

If you want to see just a single record, change the Default View
property of the subform to "Single Form".
