How do you insert a subreport into my form?
It seems that when I try to insert a subreport, it only allows me to pick from existing forms, tables, or queries and that’s not what I want.
I actually want a subreport so it displayed in a report format.
This report already exists.
Thanks.

Form

You can have a subform on your form, not a subreport.

Subreports go on Reports and Subforms go on Form. If you have a form, then you can only add a subform to it. Just redign the subform to look like the subreport and that should take care of that. hth.

I would just put a button on the form to open the report. I wouldn't consider a report a subreport unless it was a report within a report. When you want it with a form it is just a report. I don't know if you will be able to view it within the form, as a docked object, but you should be able to play with that.

Is there a way to display more than 1 record at a time if I format it to look like a report instead of the Datasheet?
When I created that form to look like my report and I have 3 records, I actually have to click next record to see the other records.
Is there a way around that?
Thank you!

Dear "jeo" one of possible solutions (approximately equivalent case)
for problem "subreports in form":

It is not impossible if you are using API (application programming interface).
One of on screen equivalent solutions you can find in attachment

Reporti_V7.zip

Explanation:

That is one of on systematic combination forms and reports on screen.
