Form Properties (Explorer)
You can access the main form properties on the Forms Page of the Explorer. To do so, click on the name of the desired form, then choose the Form Properties... command in the context menu or in the options menu of the page.
The properties are displayed in a specific dialog box:
Most of the properties set using this dialog box (name, access, platform, etc.) can also be set in the Property List of the Form editor. They are described in Form properties. However, the "Published as subform in the host database" property (described below) is only found in this dialog box.
This option is useful when developing components that contain forms (see Sharing of forms).
For a component form to be selected as a subform in a host database, it must have been explicitly designated as a "published form" in the properties dialog box of the form by selecting the Published as subform in the host database option. Only project subforms can be specified as published subforms.
For more information about specifying and using component subforms, refer to Developing components.
