So I guess I'm stuck with a subform for this area of the screen...

"Stuck" is not a particularly apt term... you will be using a subform for
one of the reasons it exists. You can work with its Format properties to
make it look "less like a typical subform" which may take some of the
"sting" out of "having" to use it.

It has always puzzled me when people say what they want to accomplish, and
then say, "but not using ..." the specific tool or feature that Access
provides to do exactly what they want to do.

Well, I guess I was putting it that way because the form (overall) contains
a significant amount of VBA code and it would be nice to be able to keep it
all in one place. I have nothing against subforms per se ... I'm just going
after simplicity.
