	I am trying to make a subform appear in tableview if in search mode and for it to appear in formview if in add mode. the reason for this being that one of the LE is a dropdown box, thus the functionality of it is lost when in tableview. i thought to work around that i could keep the dropdown box if the subform was in formview whilst adding. is this impossible?

	It may be possible using two subforms - one with Table View, the other with Form View, both using the same data source and both placed in the same position on the parent form, then using the visibility SBasic functions to make them appear and disappear based on form mode. I haven't tried this yet, but will try to find time to do some experiments. An alternative is to use two different parent forms - one for data entry and one for search/update.

Technically, the subform is an element of the main form, however, it is not listed as an element in the Program Editor of the main form. If it gets listed, it would have been easily made invisible. Just a thought.

	a Fail to Compile error message is displayed when opening the main form(in preview mode) when attempting to set a subform's visibility property. is this b/c the subform is not recognized as an element of the main form?

	Yes. 1.0.2 has the addition of the SubFormVisibility/@SubFormVisibility function - for this very purpose.
