Hide a subform in MS access

There are different ways of hiding or displaying a sub form in Microsoft Office Access. You can use an event of the form, a form control, using a command button, or using a toggle button. In many cases, your computer monitor's screen estate may be at a real premium, with many elements and form controls vying for position.

To enable you to show or hide the sub form, you need to apply some code to the On Current event of the main form. This will show or hide the sub form if the Active Member checkbox is checked as you scroll through the main form. You will also need to add code to the After Update event of the Active Member checkbox, as this will then show or hide the sub form depending on the selection made in the checkbox.

The code used in the On Current event of the main form is:

Private Sub Form_Current()
'On current event of main form
'Check if Active checkbox is selected
'then show or hide subform
    If Me.Active = True Then
        Me.sfrmPaymentsSubform.Visible = True
    Else
        Me.sfrmPaymentsSubform.Visible = False
    End If
End Sub

The code used in the After Update event of the checkbox [Active] in the main form is:

Private Sub Active_AfterUpdate()
'After Update of checkbox
'Check if Active checkbox is selected
'then show or hide subform
    If Me.Active = True Then
        Me.sfrmPaymentsSubform.Visible = True
    Else
        Me.sfrmPaymentsSubform.Visible = False
    End If
End Sub

If you uncheck the Active Member checkbox, the After Update event of the checkbox is fired and the sub form's visible property is set to False, and the sub form is hidden from display. If you require additional information, please visit Showing or Hiding Microsoft Access Subforms.
