Subform Wraps
I have created a subform on my form and it is not associated with a lookup. In the designer, it looks like the following..for each row, its just a couple of protected text boxes and a yes/no control:
And here's the properties of the subform:
But when I preview it, the rows wrap around... it shows the two rows on one row:
I haven't seen this issue before but I generally bind the subform to a datasource. So, I'm not sure if this is showing up as an issue because of that or whether I have specified something wrong. Any help is appreciated!

I haven't found any changes that will work to alter the look. Even if you add more columns and try to space the fields that way, it seems to override that and give each field equal value (which is frustrating). There may be something with css that you can do, but that's a little outside my arena :)

Thanks, Alexey...
That doesn't work either. But you have both pushed me to think about this a little more.
If it is repeating, there must be only one row in the subform and when I unselect Repeatable, it appears to be wrapping all of the fields.
When I go into the Exclude Fields dialog, it lists all of my controls out....and even when I removed the Repeatable check mark, it still listed all of the fields:
It actually seems a bit of a bug to me. If I don't specify repeating, I would expect it to leave my fields where I put them on the subform; its odd.
I appreciate you both responding!

I started over from scratch with what I have learned and I believe Gwen was on the money.... I think if its not repeatable, you must use ROWS option. It seems if you use the COLUMNS option, it expects that you are repeating and it treats everything that you have in the subform as one row...
I appreciate you helping me get to this understanding!
