How to reference to subform rows?

I have a main with subform form. This form has no record source. That means it is not attached to any tables or queries. I want to use code to handle all fields validation and records update. How do I refer to rows and columns of the subform?

I don't think you can use an unbound form as a subform. The subform control
is designed to be used with a bound form. I'd bind the subform to a staging
(or "scratch") table, write the values there, then append the records from
this table to your real table when you initiate the Save. This way, you can
use the subform as intended.

Thanks. You are right. Since I am new to Access and, from my mainframe experience, I wonder why we cannot use codes to fully control the form/subform.
