I am trying to create a multi period budget forecast form
1 text column and 14 number data columns are require (forecast periods and
cost savings)
4 of these columns will have updatable fields to allow on the fly changes.

The data rows have 21 possible forecast lines that need to be presented for
which different formats apply - some are standard numbers others %
Sub totals are required between these data rows.

The issue is this results in more than 255 fields that I need to track.
ie 14 * 21 = 294
I tried using arrays. and the form works great. (code updates the form on
poiter changes)
But unable to print the data from the form....
I think this is because I need to have the form tied to a querry or table
for the data to be visible in the printed copy (not sure)

I have tried multiple sub forms and this works too, but it is very slow in
form updates.

So 2 questions:
How does one get data on a form NOT linked to a table or querry to show on a
hard copy print out?

What is best way to to design this type of form? Multiple sub forms, array
usage, something else....
 
Design your report with the control sources as Form!yourformname!yourcontrol
(textbox or whatever)
Have a button on the form to show/print the report while form is open!
