Default Down Arrows in Subform Header

"DavidSteel" wrote in message
...
I have several databases that were created in Access 2003 and earlier.
Several have forms where the main form is one record and the subform has
several records. For instance, the header record would have a trip
number,
truck number and driver. The subform would have all the stops for that
trip.
Now, I just was updated to Office 2007, including Access 2007.
In Access 2007, it has added a Down Arrow to the right of each column
header
in the subform. If you click on this, it gives you choices to sort by
that
field, etc.
The problem is that it obliterates part of the name of the field. I would
have to go and resize several fields on several forms. Personally, I
don't
want users to have the access of this as there is a specific reason for
the
order of these records.
So how do I turn this feature off?



I don't know if you can turn it off for datasheets. I've only been working
with Access 2007 for a short time though, so there may be a way I don't know
about.

However, you can replace your datasheet subforms with subforms in continuous
forms view. You can play with their formatting if you want, so as to make
them look like datasheets if you want, but they won't show those arrows and
options.
