There are one or more subforms de®ned for all the Forms that allow user-de®ned subforms. This allows you to augment or replace the subform supplied by TeamConnection. The TeamConnection-supplied database teamc.nsf has all of the user subforms de®ned. All of them are empty. You should de®ne your initial database by copying teamc.nsf so that you have all the subforms available (This process is described in ªInitializing the original template and creating a databaseº on page 112.)

These user subforms are not modi®ed if you refresh or replace your design database using the TeamConnection template fhcnotes.ntf, so you can be assured that your subforms will remain intact if you update your database with a new version of this template (as described in ªDatabase maintenance: refreshing design from a templateº on page 119). User de®ned subforms follow a naming convention. All begin with the a pre®x of UserSm. followed by a suffix that indicates what Form they are associated with. They are listed in the Subforms list of the Design section of the database. You cannot create subforms. You must used the empty subforms supplied.

You can see where these subforms are speci®ed on the main Form by opening that form and locating one of the lines that display [Computed Subform]. Select the line and look in the bottom pane. The name of the user subform that is loaded at that location in the form is listed.

Note: See the Advanced Customization help topic for a detailed listing of forms and subforms available.
