Default Dynamically expanding subform?

Hello,

I am using a continuous form for data entry, and every time I tab out of one
record, a new one is created automatically and shows up underneath the first
one. The reason for this setup is so that users can add information into a
child table, but the number of entries that are added per parent-table record
varies and cannot be determined beforehand. The subform has an etched border
and a background colour that's different from the underlying main form.
I would really like to have the subform expand down every time a new record
is added, instead of making it large enough so that it can hold/display
several records which may or may not be created.

I noticed that there was a property that supposedly lets the form grow
automatically, but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
Is there a way to achieve my goal, and how would I go about it?

Thank you.
