fields in a form

[EdH]

I have a form that is has several memo fields, so it is more than one page.
But there are several key fields that I want to remain showing on the top of
the page, as I scroll down to fill in the other fields. In essense, it would
be as if the key fields are remaining stagnant like in a title. On excel, it
would be a matter of freezing panes. Is there a way to do this?

Put the fields in the header for the form.

One way - which avoids scrolling altogether - is to use a Tab Control.
Put the static data in textboxes or other controls on the top of the
form, and put a Tab Control below those controls; put a textbox for
the memo fields, one on each page of the tab control.

Wow - no wonder I couldn't figure it out. I assumed it would be difficult &
it was that simple.

Here's a quick
little tutorial I give people on the use of Tabbed Pages.

VERY nice, Linq! That clarified some confusion that I've had, and I've
been using Tab Controls for years. Do you have this available on a
webpage somewhere? If so I'll add it to my "neat links"...

flamed. Must be thinking about Friday. Pete D.
