Thanks Miyako and Jody, The thing I most worry about is the performance overhead of subforms. I would suspect a subform is "heavier" than a simple field or button for example.
Can someone tell me what the subform performance overhead is? After all, when inserting 100 widget I am in fact inserting 100 subforms.
