[AccessD] JIT subforms - was: Subjects in Newsletters

Sumthin ye'd hafta be an idjit not to use.

:)

Had to chime in on a Friday...

The real answer is Just In Time.  In this context it's used for the case
where you have multiple subforms, ie on multiple pages of a tab
control.  If you left them bound all the time, the form could take a
long time to load up, depending on the number of subforms and the numer
of records each needs to display.  By implementing JIT, you load the
recordsource for a subform only when that subform is visible, "just in
time" for the user to see it.  The subforms are still bound, only you
specify what they are bound to only when necessary.

Happy Friday, all!
