How Can I Eliminate the "+" Sign When Displaying Table Data

I created two tables and used the "Relationships" view to create the
relationships. Now, when I just display the table data (double click the
table name) on the One Table (One to Many), it has a plus sign in the left
column that brings in the "Many" table data if I click the + sign.. I could
not find a way to turn off that feature. Is there?

get properties, and set SubDatasheetName to "[none]".

If you search for these keywords you'll probably find code that will
loop over all tables and turn it off for all.

Here's some (that I got from this group at some point I've forgotten,
apologies to the author):

Public Function TurnOffSubDataSh() As Integer
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
Dim prp As DAO.Property
Const conPropName = "SubdatasheetName"
Const conPropValue = "[None]"

TurnOffSubDataSh = 0
Set db = DBEngine(0)(0)
For Each tdf In db.TableDefs
If (tdf.Attributes And dbSystemObject) = 0 Then
If tdf.Connect = vbNullString And Asc(tdf.Name) 126 Then
'Not attached, or temp.
If Not HasProperty(tdf, conPropName) Then
Set prp = tdf.CreateProperty(conPropName, dbText, _
conPropValue)
tdf.Properties.Append prp
TurnOffSubDataSh = TurnOffSubDataSh + 1
Else
If tdf.Properties(conPropName) conPropValue Then
tdf.Properties(conPropName) = conPropValue
TurnOffSubDataSh = TurnOffSubDataSh + 1
End If
End If
End If
End If
Next

Set prp = Nothing
Set tdf = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Function

You also need to turn off name auto-correct, else the dreaded [Auto] will
return

I think it was Allen Browne.

Other's have pointed to how you can turn off that 'feature'.

Please also be aware that Access tables are intended to store data, not
display it. You and your users don't need to (and probably shouldn't) work
directly in the tables.

Use Access Forms instead.
