I have a form with subforms, and they pull data from tables that I have set
up. There's information on the tables that I don't want shown in the form,
but I don't want to delete it since it may mess it up. The subforms are shown
in Datasheet view. Anyone know how I can leave the info there but make it not
visible?
 
just remove the control(s) that are bound to the field(s) that you don't
want to display. the data is still available to be read and/or edited
programmatically if necessary, because it's *not* excluded from the form's
RecordSource.

In addition to Tina's suggestion, consider using a query as the record
source for your form. That's another way you can choose to include/exclude
fields that exist in the table.
