Is it possible to create a listview type control on a form?

[Angus Comber]

Hello

I am familiar with Windows programming where you have a wide array of
control types at your disposal. I have to adjust my thinking for an Access
project.

Anyway, the customer wants a list of policies for each client. For example
a client might have 4 or 5 policies. They want a summary of policies -
possibly in a listview - which they can double click on to see the full
detail of the policy.

Is it possible to have a listview control on an Access form? If so how? If
not how can I re-create similar functionality?

Try using a Form with a subform (datasheet view) and use a hyperlink to
the full text of the policy. You could also use a memo field to display a
fair amount of the data from the policy.
