have all forms open in window of main form

[Chris]

I would like to have some commnand buttons and or toolbar buttons on a main
form which open a number of different forms and have them all open up in the
main form whilst retaining the view of the command buttons etc. Not sure if
this is feasible or relativley straightforward but if it is would appreciate
some guidance or direction on how to accomplish this. Each new form would
overlay the previous form opened which would become invisible.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

One easy way to do this is to add tabs on your main form. Then in each tab
you can place a subform. You will only see the subform when you click its
tab. Your controls or buttons that you need to see all the time can be
placed above the tabs in either the header or the detail section of the form.

Hope this helps,
