The difference between putting textbox on page and subform

[Frank Situmorang]

Hello,

On the Access sample for Address database, I see on the form, tabcontrol, on
page1 is directlly put textbox on page and on the other page the form is put.

What is the difference of these 2 ways. What is the purpose

Thanks in advance

Putting a textbox directly on the tab control, the text box can use the
recordsource of the form the tab control is on and be bound to a field in
that recordsource.

To use a SECOND (or more) recordsource (i.e. different tables) you can use a
subform to be able to do that.
