I want a user to be able to add a succession of records related to a header
on a continous form. DSo far no problem. But I want the USER to be able to
control where on the form the record is placed - i.e. first second third etc.
For example the user could add three records A, B and C and they would
appear in the order A, B and C (if that was how the order by was set).
But I want my user to be able to say no I want this new record say D to
display between A and C on the form rather than at the end.
The only way I can think of doing it is by adding an extra "Position" field
that the user updates eg 1,2,3,4,5 and then re display the screen. But this
will get vey messy for the uer - what if she wants to put a record between
position 1 and 2?
I suppose anyher way would be to have some sort of "move down" button that
deleted adn readds the record with an order by field like position between
after the next records value - but that sounds complicated with VB.
Any ideas?
