Hello & thank you in advance,
I am trying to merge 2 existing Access databases & am having difficulty
because one of the forms contains a subform that I can not seem to transfer
over. How do you import a subform?
Thanks,
~Charissa
 
you have to select it on its own and import it just like any other form.
Access doesn't know the relationship between the two in this context.
 
O, that's what i'm trying to do, but the sub form does not appear (anywhere)
when i go to import a form. The only place i see the subform is in the
Visual Basic Editor under the project, and there am not able to do anything
with it. I tried saving it & trying to add it that way as well, with no luck.

Thanks,
~Charissa
 
Are you saying that if you do File, Get External Data, Import
and you select the mdb where the form and sub form are and select the Forms
tab on the import dialog, it is not in the list?
It should be.
 
Could it have been hidden? Open the database that contains this form, go
to Tools|Options, View, and check Hidden Objects.
