[AccessD] Continuous form on a continuous form

If you want drill down flexibility, then subdatasheets give you that,
although they are ugly.  If you want a more sophisticated look, two
forms or two subforms are the answer.  You could always put a continuous
subform in the footer, as well, put a details button in the detail
section of the parent form, and unhide the subform if the user clicks on
that button.

Jim:

Two forms then?  Linked by the OnCurrent or Click event of the first
one? That seems to be where this is headed.
