Columns in a form

G

gg

I have a form with a list racing participant records. There are 2 fields in
each record, an identity number and "place". When the user clicks on an
identity number, the "Place" control in incremented by 1. More code then
resorts the list by place so that blank places are always on top and those
with places are in order at the bottom of the list.

The list can be long, too much for all competiors to show on the screen.
This is inconvenient for the user as she has to scroll up and down rather
than just point and click. Is there some way to have several columns on the
screen from the same source table/query?

i am using Access2000 with W2000.

Incidentally, why does the Newsgroup listing show some items followed by
"(office.access)" and some not? Its all Office Access, right?

I can't figure out how to reply to '69 Camaro's reply-hope that this is the
way. Apparently I didn't phrase things right. Here is what I have
(simplified slightly.):

I have a table with only two fields. Both fields will be displayed on a
form. No subfrom or pull downs involved, just a single form sourced from
this table. The count of records is long, say max of 100 records. I want
the user to see all the records on the screen without scrolling down. This
means I would like columns, similar to what one does for a report.

The top row (and bottom) of the screen would look something like this, if
possible:
field1 field2 field1 field2 field1 field2

Each column of two records would be long enough to fill the vertical view of
the screen

Thanks in advance for any help.
