Split Froms vs. Subforms

[Gary]

Hi all,

I posted this question yesterday and received notification that someone
responded to it, but the message disappeared and is no longer there and I
could not read the response. So here I go again. what are the advantages and
disadvantages of using Split Forms vs. Subforms? I have a lot of questions on
both.

Thanks for the help,

Gary

They are two completely different things although on the surface they do
have simularities. A subform is a form, a split form is a form that
displays a table listing all records in the table while the main portion is
the currently selected record. A sub form can do almost anything a main
form can and it can also be split. A split form only displays an addtional
table version of the current table related to its record source. You could
do the same thing with a subform and a subform within it but the new
splitform aims to make this easier.
