Often, a sub-form can be considered a container....

If you have a group of controls that you need to hide, or a group of
controls that needs to display some other table data, then a sub-form is the
idea...

A2003 started offering control grouping that allows you to move and
resize grouped controls together. A2007 adds additional features to
that. Don't some of those accomplish many of the things that using a
containter like a tab or subform will do? I think it's you who has
said a lot about the usefulness of grouping controls in A2007, so
maybe this would be an appropriate place to mention some of its
capabilities again (and to say if there's been any additional
enhancements in A2010).
