I need to show many editable records on a form - is there a way to Is there
a way to display records on a form in columns such as:
record 1 record 4 record 7
record 2 record 5 record 8
record 3 record 6 record 9

I can do it when I print the form, but I need to display it in an editable
form so that the records can be completed by the user on the form.

Use Continuous Forms?

Thanks Jim but that just gives me a single column listing....I need four
columns so more data can be seen at one time with each record having four
fields showing (so it would look like four columns each containing four
records/columns) Bev

That sounds like Continuous Forms in 4 subforms. If you need the
records to be contiguous then you would have to use a WHERE clause
that takes that into consideration - or maybe just a form filter (in
the subforms).

Hmmm...we may have to work it out in code, I guess! It is so simple to do on
a report - I hoped there was something I was missing to easily do it on a
form! Thanks!
