Help: Inconsistency with how subforms with datasheet subforms are displayed on main form

Post Body

Hi all,

I'm creating a ('main') form with an option group that controls which of four subforms are displayed (depending on which button in the option group is selected). Two of the subforms are normal forms that just contain a bunch of text boxes and labels, but two are subforms that contain an additional subform in datasheet view (as well as a header showing which Link Master Field is currently selected and some toggle buttons to launch data entry forms). One of the datasheet view subforms appears blank when the query that drives them returns no records, but the other shows a single blank row, like it's ready to have new data added.

I'd prefer the form to show up blank (not with the single blank row) so that I can restrict editing directly into the datasheet table and force users to use the "add record" button to make sure data is entered for all of the fields in the table the query is pulling from (not just the fields we need info from most frequently, which is what I am displaying in the subform). But, generally I would just like these to be consistent.

Some photos to demonstrate what I am talking about:

1) Main form shows completely blank sub-subform when query returns no data:

2) Main form shows sub-subform with one blank row, ready to enter data:

3) Normal display for each of the subforms when query returns data:
