Reusing a Subform on a Power Form

To insert (reuse) a subform on a power form:

  1. In FDA, open the power form that you want to use to contain the subform.

  2. If you want to insert the subform on a tab page, click the tab control to insert into.

  3. Select Subform Alias from the Insert menu.

  4. On Work with Applications, select the application containing the subform you want to insert.

  5. On Work with Subforms, select the subform you want to insert.

    The system inserts an alias to the subform on the power form or tab page.

    Note: Always determine the full effect of changing a subform. If you reuse subforms in the applications, check them occasionally to ensure that the subforms have not been altered in such a way as to negatively affect the applications.
