Display Continuous Forms Side-by-Side

I am creating a form and i have two subforms within the form. I am pulling
records from a table by using customer names through a combo box. One
customer may have many records so the first subform pulls the records into a
continuous form so their information is easily viewed. When this form is
filled out there are several yes/no questions to be answered about each
customer. I wanted to have the second subform to display a text box with the
order numbers listed in the subform above in the continous form format, since
there is one order number for every record of the customer. I have all of
this done but my problem is that I need the continuous form entries to show
up next to each other and not below each other. The reason for this is that
I have labels on the left with the questions in them and then I am going to
have several yes/no answer boxes below the order number that I want to
display side by side. Depending on how many order numbers the customer has I
need more or less columns with the yes/no answer boxes since each order the
customer has may have different answers to the questions then the previous
order. If anyone knows a way to do this please let me know.

not much you can do....

I *often* display two sub-forms side by side. On the left side you select a
record, and then
display the results (for editing) on the right side. This works in BOTH
cases where the
right side might be a single record, or "many" records...

I have some screen shots here that might give you some ideas:

however, trying to line up two continuous forms side by side?...no, I just
can't see that as
being programmer possible....
