Down Arrows in Subform Header
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? Thanks for any help you can provide, David |

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. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup) |

Down Arrows in Subform Header
Hi Dirk,
Thanks for your answer. I had a feeling that it may be something that cannot be turned "off". Your method may solve the problem but seems it would also mean a lot more work, just to make the Arrows go away, rather than resize.
