Hi,
I'm real new to MS Access 2000 (a novice-oh no!) I'm trying to set up an
assessment questionaire and want several questions on each TAB PAGE. However,
I want each question to appear individually (i.e. on Tab 1 question 1 would
appear, the respondent answers and clicks a control to go to question 2 on
the same tab page, then to question 3, etc.). I will have seven tab pages
set up like this.

So, how do I do this. I've read just about everything I could find and now
I'm completely confused.

Hope to hear from you all soon. Thanks!!!

It sort of depends how they answer (Do they fill in a text box? Do you have
option buttons in a group? Do they pick from a combobox or listbox?), plus
how you're presenting the questions (When you say "go to Question 2", where
do you want them to go: to a text box that holds the question, or to the
control where they answer the question?) but in general, you can put code in
the AfterUpdate event of whatever control they use to respond to set focus
to where you want them to go next.

Hi Douglas,
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you I work in addiction recovery
and, well it keeps one busy. Briefly, "YES" to most of your questions. I
have groupings of questions in various catagories. For example "General
Information" that has 35 questions, each question would have a "text box"
and/or combo box (no option buttons) where they answer the question and all
of that would be under Tab 1(or "General Info" tab). Tab 2 (Alcohol and Drug)
has the same senario and so on for the rest of the tabs.

This is more of an "esthetics" thing than anything else. I tried the
"subform" thing and I did a straight form layout with all the questions (235
in all) but it just doesn't feel right. What I would like to accomplish is
demonstrated on a screenshot of a tab control at www.soundatasource.org (this
is an "Addiction Severity Index). I'll "attempt" the AfterUpdate suggestion
and let you know how it worked (which may be a while but I will get back to
you). And, "THANKS"! If I can get this done it's gonna help thousands of
folks!
