PRB: Subform Column Width Changes Made in Main Form Not SavedArticle ID: Q105656Creation Date: 22-OCT-1993 Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMS
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
If a subform is in Datasheet view on a main form, and you change the width
of the columns on the subform, the changes will not be retained when the
main form is closed and then reopened.
CAUSE
When you modify a subform while it is being viewed on a main form, you are
actually modifying a copy of the subform, not the actual subform itself.
RESOLUTION
To change column widths on the subform, open the subform independently of
the main form, make the changes, and save the subform. Then force the main
form to get a new copy of the subform by closing and then reopening the
main form, or by clicking in the subform control on the main form and then
pressing ENTER.
STATUS
This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access for Windows 95
version 7.0.
