Other than to help the original programmer see the data at the bottom level
easily... Not a thing...

Subject: [AccessD] Subdatasheet vs. Relationships?


I have inherited an A2K database that has numerous tables related to one
another via the SubDatasheet property. Make no mistake, I hate this feature
with a passion because it slows databases down. 
However, if there is a legitimate reason to use it I'll buy in.

The db has no relationships defined in relationships view. In the mdb is a
main form based on a single table (no JOINS in the RecordSource), with
several subforms on tabs. Each subform is getting data from a single,
distinct tables (that is, no two subforms use the same table for data. All
subforms are linked to the main form by BlahID.

Now, for the life of me, I can't figure out what using the SubDataSheet
property of the tables does to help this application. 
What gives?
